So i goofed and left gas in the engine for a month, life got in the way and now before i soak the carb for 3 hours i have a couple of questions. First, rather than the harsh carb cleaner anyone use orange citrus degreaser, i've had pretty good luck with motorcycle carbs, not as fast but gentle on rubber bits.

Second, It looks like replacing the mains with larger #122's are the only difference between the 15hp and the 18/20? Is that true. Since I'm going to have the carbs apart thought I'd ask. the carb has an odd jet & plug configuration.

Thanks

You remove the rubber and plastic bits before you soak it and the carb bodies are different.
