Here are a few pictures from when I took the carbs apart to get enough room to replace the bad fuel line . Was not like working on the bix sixes . These 4 cyl have no room once so ever

Was pulling the lower unit here . Found out that the lover was cracked and the carrier was loose . Unit was junk and couldnt be repaired . Found another lower in good shape .

This was when I replaced the trigger . Sometimes she would run great and others after she got warm wouldnt start back up once shut off .
