    Walbro WT-1029-1 question

    Hello all. I just did a rebuild on my Craftsman trimmer. Had issues last season with occasionally flooding trying to get it started. This year ignition coil failed and checked carb and changed gaskets and metering diaphragm (small hole and brittle). It wouldn't prime right and kept flooding...
