got my engine running right again.... turns out my snorkel was tweaked just enough that it was pushing on my gasket to the carb and causing it to suck air in behind the carb. so i need a new rubber gasket and i already tweaked my snorkel to work right

got my mower almost 100% finished. just need to take my bumper from the other frame and mount it. got my tires switched back to good rims so i could use them. and i need an air filter to fit my snorkel. rides like a charm and exactly how i want it to feel. just need beefier front tires too

tire tubes came in and so did my new main jet. oddly enough it has a bigger hole than the old one but my mower is running like a charm and idles and revs again. one tube leaks from around the valve stem. probably my fault when i put it in. the other is nice and holds air. will probably buy another tube again. at least it will be easier to put in this time now. just gunna buy a new idler pulley for it. and than mud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is just a quick walk around again after i got everything together
