Hi Dave,

I had the exact same problem and pulled the reg off and found it to be sticking. I worked it loose and replaced the gasket but now it allows allot of fuel to come out of the carb when not running. I do not mean a drip every so often but anywhere from a steady stream to a fast drip which all depends if I turn the prop up to compression or not. After getting the plunger to work freely my transition improved a great deal.

Should I also consider sending mine in or are there certain part numbers I need to know about replacing the plunger. I read somewhere in this forum that there is a plunger available that is a tad bit shorter that seems to work well. If there is do you have the part number? I can do the work myself.

Thanks
