No. Less often. They have made several new improvements.

Crank bearings have been the main problem, I know they have tried different ones several times now

Ran on today for the first time. They are so smooth and found it to be powerful for the size. Like it a lot!

Yes they have there good points, and they are smooth as can be

I wonder how hard they'd be, if possible (and worth it) to retroactively apply to an older unit?

Some would be simple. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

If I forget.......rattle my cage.

Just as long as you don't start throwing poo at the glass or engaging in some quality alone time, in public...

 

[Mastermind]

Now......would I do that?

Recent changes.

Tank vent:

They removed the place the vent line plugged up on the air filter base.

 

[Mastermind]

Differences in the vent/primer return line.

The new style without the vent to filter base.




And the old style.....

 

[Mastermind]

I'm having a hell of a time with the pictures....

 

[Mastermind]

The new style fuel line. Shorter, and doesn't hook in the intake like it did before.

 

[Mastermind]

The new carb. Note the fuel inlet is angled down now.

 

[Mastermind]

Old style fuel line.....

 

[Mastermind]

The old carb.....

 

[Mastermind]

Top cover changes.

New type.


Old one.

This must have all been done to combat hot start issues. They must have felt it was boiling the fuel in the line.

These changes didn't all happen at once. The vent line was first........then the top cover change, now the carb and fuel line.
