SD> help with carb problems

[swedeis@comcast.net]

Add a fuel filter on the line from the carb to the charcoal canister.

Honestly, the carbs aren't very well cast and tend to warp just in usual use.  The only real solution is to move to a better carb or fuel injection (megasquirt FTW!)

Good luck,
Stefan
