Davidwyby, You ain't got a laser rig in the big machine shop that could do things like zap out gaskets and obsolete diaphragms, given the right sort of sheet stock?
This may never be in my budget, considering lifes changes for me.
But!
Every time I see another article about getting bench top lasers for 4~5 hundred dollars working better.
I start wondering about metering diaphragms and finding some of the black (fiber bearing) "rubber" stock to make the diaphragms from.
I, personally, feel that nothing else makes as easy of a starting engine as the old black ones.
Just gotta be mindful and never let ethanol touch them though!
