Carburetor Removal

Remove the air filter and two nuts and the old carb pulls right off. Transfer two fuel hoses and the throttle cable. Put the new carb in place, reinstall the two nuts and you are done. Fill the tank with gas, prime the bulb and fire right it up. Idle was perfect. The carburetor has a quick throttle response.
