I include an O ring with all the kits I sell to seal at the carb to intake tube When your motor runs applying full choke should kill the running engine quickly Do not touch the clip -- adjustment yet as that would not cause your symptoms Kinda hard to give you a full diagnosis with limited info Last edited: Jun 10, 2009
