Been reviewing the manual getting prepared for Spring tune-up and noticed that it suggests using kerosene to flush the transmission. Any substitute recomendations? I can't find kerosene anywhere. Used to be at every fuel station, don't know what happened...am I getting old? LOL

Some use diesel fuel also.

I just read your carb problem from an earlier post and responded to a newer one about a rebuild. It almost sounds like the shop didn't do a very good job at the rebuild. If they were uncertain as to where the choke plate spring went that's generally not a good thing. Is there any chance you can borrow some elses carb and try thiers on your S55? A TSX 603 is what you probably have now and any TSX 363 would work also. Just to see if it fires right up.

One sure fire way to tell if your carb is not right is to leave the air intake tube off your carb and have someone hop on the seat and try to start it. If's it's cranking and not starting then spray some starter fluid, WD-40, carb cleaner spray (anything that will burn) into the air intake side (I mean right into the carb). If it starts and runs as long as your spraying fluid, then you carb hasn't been rebuilt correctly.

Hope you get 'er going.
