So got this XT190 gas in today to fix the carb problems and found fuel pump leaks and it is almost new. Plus there is a manifold pipe plug missing which sure can not help. Only place I have found that can do a rebuild or has the kit is Y-T. So looks like I have to pull the carb off send it to there re-builder in Ohio and then wait on t to come back. Any body done this before and if so how good a job did they do??
 
Rich,
I'd plug the hole and try it before you send the carb. off to be rebuilt. Maybe you already have. A little intake leak goes a long way toward running poorly.
 
I"ve never understood the magic of sending a carb to a rebuilder when the kits are available and many folks, including yourself, have years of experience doing pretty much the same thing. Cleaning, replacing jets, etc. There aren"t any parts you can"t access, so what does the rebuilder do?
 
90% of the time rebuilding a carb is just cleaning it up and replacing the gasket and its good to go,but there are other variables. I have bought quite a few tractors over the years people couldn't get to run right that the carb was the basic problem.They'd of been $$$ way ahead to have someone rebuild it that knew all the ins and outs of carbs.
 
Only kit we have found costs over $90 so sending it to some one seem to be $$ ahead since it should also have a warranty on it. I have never been into the Holley type carb used on this one
 
We already know the diaphragm in the carb is bad it has a rip in it so has to be rebuilt but yes a vacuum leak does odd things
