 This is the scoop, cleaned and rebuilt carb on a 6 hp LEV 120 Tecumseh and it works but not well. I want to replace the carb, but a real choke I operate, no red rubber primer, and a carb that I can adjust. Any older carbs that will work? When I was a kit i use to pull old lawnmower engines from the junk pile, strip them, clean them, and put it together. Start on the first or second pull. These newer carbs are ... not as good as the old ones IMHO. Thanks!

I have to chek my spelling, too impatient to post. When I was a kid, I found motors would have more adjustments and start, where as this newer stuff, carbs with a red rubber rotting bulb is made to rot. What happened to bending over and flicking a choke lever to start an engine. The better things get, the less they last.
