    Most wouldnt notice that though as after it broken it was basically full fuel all the time.

    I’m talking about the spool inside the AFRC. The spool that goes into the big piston

    This might sound stupid but check along the frame for a fuel prefilter, I had an old B model that did the same thing and all the shops said they changed the fuel filters but when I looked closer I found a small pre filter tucked along the drivers frame by the edge of the rear of the engine that had been there so Long it rusted, changed it out and it ran great

    was thinking you were talking inside the pump about the piece the hooks into lever inside the governor housing.
