If you mean where the intake for the diaphragm is, then yes. i can blow/suck into the tube and it gives a little either way.

I've replaced the large metal plate behind the diaphragm with a smaller plate.

Visited a mower specialist to track down some brass washers and he advised that it was a common fix.

NOW my over-revving is sort of fixed, it's now searching through the rev range to find an idle, going from normal to over-revving to choking out.

Full throttle causing choking out and leaving the throttle on the starter speed is causing a "search" (up and down through rev range)

You guys really help, the carb info will be invaluable for my posting (I hope) I can start the engine but cannot make it run

Good stuff

Thanks Dennis
