Gotta watch these aftermarket carbs. Last year I just wanted to put a gasket set in my blower because it would not draw fuel. I found that you can get the carb for cheap. I didn't get the cheapest one, I got the one that appeared to be the better one that was a direct fit. When I fired it up, it would not idle down. I took it off and found that the throttle plate did not look like it was located right and was stopping prematurely on the bore. I went to remove one of the plate screws and it felt like it was only finger tight. Also, the screws were not staked to prevent them from loosening up. One gulp of one of those screws and I would have been looking for another blower. In the end I took it apart and used just the gaskets. Blower runs fine now. I guess I paid $25 for a gasket set.
