The solution to your carburetor problem is to have your EE-23 properly adjusted or rebuilt.

Crin,
Agree with Owen_Dyneto that the 'correct' move here is to have your current carb either rebuilt and/or properly adjusted. Just as a side-bar here, I had a carb off a sailboat engine years ago, and it was giving me grief. I found out it was made by Tillitson in Ireland, and Acklands/Grainger carried the parts for them. I went down to the store thinking I would 'know' my carb when I saw it in the book and there were literally dozens of them, all 'looking' identical but all varying by a number or two. They had been spec'ed on everything from chainsaws to snowmobiles, and every one of them had different specifications, delivery rates and applications. AND, of all the units in the guy's book, mine was a 'marine' anomaly and wasn't available!!! Long story short, I ended up phoning the factory in Ireland and the guy told me in a thick Irish accent to 'get it over to him', which I did and received it back completely rebuilt, WITH an extra rebuild kit for future, and NO CHARGE!!! Blew me away - but the moral of the story is just because they look the same....

Not to hijack the topic, but is a sailboat engine not an oxymoron?
