Carb Kits
A carb kit is a replacement set of small parts for the inside of the carburetor, which when replaced and cleaned, can result in better engine performance. See our section on carburetors for how the carb could be causing this symptom. It's a good idea, if you're using a carb kit to tear down and rebuild your carburetor for the first time, to take photos with your cell phone as you go. This will help you with reassembly.
