In your first post you asked about decent prices for the spark plugs. Depending where you buy them from they can be very expensive. One of the modern replacement numbers for the old plugs is Autolite 2243 for the old AR5S, and 2245 for the old AR7S. Rock auto lists both the 2243 and the 2245 for $6.63 each. That compares very favorably with the $15 plus that many dealers list them at.

The 2243 is the colder plug, the 2245 is hot. Engine condition along with type of usage would dictate which plug to use.

Took the carb apart yes lots of red dust rust dust that is but flushed the lines and put the in line filter in before the pum and it caugh a little rust not much ...so cleaned the carb and it all looked pretty good so took a chance and it fired right up and ran really well!...for about 2 mins LOL! Ordered a rebuild kit and some plugs for it. I figure there is a hole in the diapham and when it builds up pressure when you step on the gas that's it it floods out and runs rough and rich...so I wait a week while it wants to rain...?
Might have to get a top for it soon?
