i thought i made a good fix,however it began to run very ruff a short time later. it was my thinking that a good tune up,and new carb would fix this situation.i believe that gas is somehow leaking into the crank case,as i can smell it from the dip stick.what is causeing this? is it the off the shelf fuel filter? i am now wondering if this motor needs a compleate rebuild?
thankyou for any advise.
