I hope so. While I was running it, the engine leaned out a little bit. I found a hole in the fuel line. Gotta fix that too. Now I decided to try and port it. First one ever so I hope all the threads I've read in here will help

Amazing that you found a hole in the fuel line. Usually that might crack at the one of the two connections. Port it? Let's fix one thing at a time.

The hole was about an inch from the carb connection. Opened the cover and seen the fuel spraying out of a pinhole.

Glad you found that. You must replace the fuel line. Note that it's all one line. Not an easy fix because the line inside the tank is short. You have to push the old line down to remove it, install a fuel filter to the end of the new line and then somehow feed it back up from the inside. It's a first class PITA, but it can be done. BTDT.

Ok thanks for the tip . I've never changed one on a 028 . Be nice if it had a big enough grommet to just put the filter in from the top .
