Thanks for the compliments darkminion and Riley. Much appreciated.

I got the carb kit and sediment bowl gasket last night. FedEx delivered them both at around 8:40 so I did the carb rebuild as soon as I opened the packet. I will say I had a hell of a time unscrewing the brass fitting that goes up into the fuel intake port. It's the fitting that houses the brass needle for the fuel shut off in the bowl. Couldn't get a standard socket on it because of the design of the carb. Tried a metric socket and managed to barely fit it into the walls of the carb and backed it out, replaced it, and put the seals on. I've attached a pic of the valve Im referring to. This is NOT my carb. It is just a pic I found of one online for reference. Mine is MUCH cleaner.

I guess it isn't so rare to own a 126 and YT16 after all! It's pretty cool that we have the same little tractors though. I read that they only made about 5000 of the 126, so I would have thought it was more rare, but I'm glad to hear that I have good taste
