Hi Norm,
I can’t say I’ve seen this before as I’ve only played with 3 horizontal shaft chondas. I assume your talking about vertical shaft motors? I did have great luck pulling the carbs down and giving them a clean in my ultrasonic cleaner though. Not sure if you’re replacing them because they’re so hard to clean, or just broken. I’m sure the replacement carbs are cheap enough to justify buying new ones off eBay or wherever.
Cheers,
John
