| Anyone done this? Mine is surging, and rather than screw around with it, I thought I would just replace the carb since it is surprisingly cheap. Any insight/tips would be appreciated. |

| It is best to get all gaskets w/ the carb and install them with just a touch of adhesive. Keeps everything in place as you juggle the spacers etc. Lay things out carefully and watch linkages and you should do fine. |

| Thanks, Tom. I was thinking about reusing the gaskets but no more than they cost, I'll get new. |

| You may want to take this time to adjust the jetting for maximum engine life and starting ease. Here's how; adjust the main jet to a jet size 84,and the pilot air jet adjust air screw counterclockwise another 1/2 to 3/4 turn from standard setting. Also go up 1-2 size jet size on the pilot jet itself (underneath the set screw near the pilot air screw). A wire gauge drill set will have the correct drills for this, less than 15 dollars.Use canned air duster to clean all passages. |

| Dude, I appreciate the suggestion, but I'm pretty sure I don't have sense enough to do that. If I actually get it all back together and it runs, it will be a minor miracle. Lord help me if it needs adjusting... |

| A new carb should not have to be adjusted. I put on a lot of these and never had to adjust. Also getting to the adjustments on a HRX is a lot of trouble. The new carbs have limiters on them. |
