>> In all honesty I don't think I could I can identify the carb. I mean, yeah, the fuel line goes into something, but it doesn't look like a carb as I'm used to seeing one. I didn't try taking anything apart. I didn't hear any clicking from the fuel pump, and with zero suction on the fuel hose, I'm sure the carbs got nothing in it.
