Finally some progress on my machine. Found the model info on the 2 stroke tecumseh engine as well as date of manufacture (1974 ) Got a rebuild kit for the carb and fresh air cleaner element. Did 2/3 of the carb rebuild, could not get the inlet needle seat/spring retainer sleeve out of the carb body( 9/32, brass hex head that started to round off the second the wrench touched it !!) so Ieft it alone. Reassembled it and after a prime with a little mix, it fired up!! ran it for a minute to adjust the idle and shut it down. Now the bad news....fuel leaks out of the exhaust port under the deck.not sure why. Any thoughts? ( exhaust port photo 4/7 on home page "mini monster")

You may have bad reeds, also weak spark.
