Yeah could be worth a crack. I haven't done too much with it as yet, I've gotten it to the point where it's coughing and spluttering with the choke on but dies when the choke is rubbed with your finger let alone opened... Once it's warmed up it's fine, half a pull no choke but cold - bugger me. Possibly it's just a bit gungy somewhere and needs a thorough run to get everything going again, it's a similar type of carb to what we have on the 35cc blower so there really isn't anything in them to go wrong. If it starts on choke, it should run in theory but likely there is a slight blockage in one of the jets I'd think. I had a quick look through it when I was cleaning it out to unblock the fuel system and remove the kitten fluff out of it, thought I had sorted it but not as yet haha.
