Yesterday was warmer, around 50 F, so I installed the reeds and carbs. By the time I was done hooking everything up it was pretty dark. I haven't tested the oil injection yet, so to be safe I plugged in a tank of mixed. Engine started right up and was very smokey. Will running mixed fuel along...
Prior to getting that link I ordered standard hose barbs (10 pcs) from Amazon, for $6.98 + tax. I cut down both ends, the press in end shorter with a small lead in. Pressed in, no problem. Now I am waiting for the large reed adapter plate so I can reassemble with the cleaned and rebuilt carbs...
While beating on my reed adapter plate to dislodge the gasket from the engine, I accidentally hit one of the tiny hose barbs on the side and broke it off. I'm not sure if those were a press fit or what but need to know if anyone has ever replaced one. Also need to find a suitable replacement barb.
