Bogii Are you planning on asking the shop to rebuild the carbs?Or are you going to ask them to fix your restart problem?<br /> When I worked in a car shop,people would come in and ask for a front end alignment.They would come back saying the front end still shakes.I would write the next repair order.. fix front end shake... <br />DHP

I'll tell you, from my experience with carbs, if you run the system cold-through-hot without problem, the carbs themselves are usually not to blame. Getting good service for TEN miles says you have no problem with carburation.<br /><br />Check for fuel starvation problems.. Remember, cooling liquids contract. Fuel under the cowling will be warmed by the engine; then cooled as you drift. You'll then get a partial vacuum, and the soda straw we know as "fuel line" will be devoid of fuel.<br /><br />..Add a marginal/flaky priming bulb, and you may have a problem. <br /><br />Question for you: If you restart that engine without allowing the engine to cool, no problems?<br /><br />Call me nuts, but for the cost of a new priming bulb, you'll eliminate it as a "suspect." Hellova lot cheaper than a carb rebuild. <br /><br />Besides, I read somewhere that you're supposed to change that bulb every couple of years anyway..<br /><br />Ken
