EHO 35 Cold Starting Problem

I paid $18 plus tax and shipping. Didn't realize Staton
carries the part.

In regard to the valve adjustment, I'll only do it if I
feel the engine isn't running right, but so far from what
I heard, it should run like a top after I repair the
carb problem. The engine doesn't have that much
time on it. We'll see. One step at a time.

When you had the carb apart, were the diaphragms nice and supple, or did they have a paper feel?

Unfortunately they do wear and loosen up. I generally do a check every 25 hours when I do an oil change. I may pull the head soon and do a polish job since its never been done before.

You can't pull the head without doing a complete port job.

The joys of talking the valves out.

The most important time to check the valve lash is after the first few 100 miles. The valves and seats are mating.
While some valve recession is expected and the lash will get smaller, the lash can become larger for other reasons.

Checking the valve lash should be part of a routine maintenance schedule

Well officer I ran from you because last month my wife left me for a police officer. I thought you was him trying to bring her back.

The diaphragms were flexible and the old carb was clean, but I
feel the new carb will run much better once I replace the plastic
insulator. I think they use filled nylon for this part which can
become very brittle.
