Carb and Starter Pt 2

Thanks for the suggestions on the carb - I pulled it off the tractor yesterday and opened it up and the new float I had put in two years ago fell apart - the soldering job failed.

I"ve worked on my carb in the past and I realize the TSX-882 is pretty easy to work on - there is some rust in the bowl and I think in one of the needle holes.

Is it worth taking it to a shop to have them rebuild it? I was going to take it to Denny"s but after searching the archives, I"d rather not. Hite in Columbus estimated it would cost me around $140 to reman it with a years warranty so I was thinking about having them do the work.

As for the starter the tab/plug is loose so I am going to have that looked at. Any recommondations for a competent shop in either Columbus or Dayton, OH?

I"m hoping *crosses fingers* at the end of the month I"ll be bushogging again.

Carbs are pretty easy to rebuild on your own. A simple kit like the Walker Brand which is what I use and a few cans of spray carb cleaner and a Gal. can of carb cleaner to soak it in and a few hours of soaking is about all that is needed. Ya you do need to blow out and maybe use a piece of wire to make sure all the passageways are open but all in all pretty simple job to do. I have a carb soaking right now and will finish it up later
