Hello squatch,
Actually I did not realize that the post about the ash trees was from Eagle Keeper on the first page of this thread.
I forgot to click "Last Page"
Sorry to hear about the ash trees in the east.
Thanks for the kind words about my carb rebuild.
I picked up a 105 yesterday for cheep.
My first CC Hydro. You might have seen it on ebay???
The engine "10hp" runs good when using fuel in a spray bottle.
I used 2stroke fuel to help lube it up a bit.
I could have just cleared the derbis from the fuel pick-up holes, but it was getting late so I just removed the carb and gave it a good scrub and nice blow-job with compresed air.
