We purchased an 0 200 complete with new mags,a remanufactered marvel carb with 30 min. run time. It hadn't been run for 2 years and it starts easy but it has a very bad hesitation when pushing the throttle. The pump works good and it runs good and sounds good . We put a new kit ($300.00) in it and soaked it for a couple days but it didn't help.Tha carb is part # 10-4894-1 marvel. We took a carb off a culver cadet and put it on and it runs beautiful. Does anyone have any suggestions on a remedy. Thank you,Bob________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 08 Aug 2011 12:28:10 -0500

before you unblock bleed holes=2C you need to make sure what ones are what. There is a vent hole in some carburetors that has to be blocked in some applications. If you have ever seen a tailwheel aircraft with a C85 that dripped all the time=2C it is a sure bet the carb came off of an Ercoupe or some other nosewheel (training wheel) type aircraft. The solution is to block a certain port=2C although I cannot recall how to locate and identify it. A carb shop could probably help.Gene> Date: Mon=2C 8 Aug 2011 12:28:10 -0500
