Mine didn't run at all .  I got it to fire up once, and it ran for a few 
seconds, did a nice big backfire up through the carb, then died.  Every time 
I tried to start it after that it'd sputter a bit, then die... new carb did 
wonders :)  Tho this new carb's choke is acting flakey on me :-/  Had it 
apart yesterday, and now it'll run when its cold, and doesn't blow smoke 
anymore, but it's still rough.. :-/
