I took the bowl off the carb and there is a little hose inside there it was broke. I don't know if it broke when I took off the bowl or was broke before. When I squeezed it it literally crumbled in my fingers! The engine would not idle, especially when coming off wide open throttle. <br /><br />I ordered a rebuild kit, will this be included? If not what can I use in it's place, it's very small. <br />Thanks,<br />Chris

It might or might not be included. Call your dealer and ask him. you need this part.

Thanks Fireman, I'd have never thought of that. I was totally baffled on how to resolve this.
