I would say that most of the problems with the techy carb and cleaning it and still not running right is the fact that you can not get to the place the carb clogs up

just taking it apart and soaking it will not clean the low speed passage which is the place 90% of them clog up you have to remove a brass plug from the carb body to gain access there is a small metal rod  in this passage also.with the bass plug removed you can get the metal rod out and use a pipe cleaner and spray carb cleaner on the passage way to clean it

a fast check to tell if you have a clogged low speed passage is with the carb off the tractor remove the jets, bowl ,float, needle hold the carb body next you your ear and shake it up and down you should hear a clink of the small metal rod moving back and forth in it's passage way if it does not the passage way is clogged up

I can only see an aluminum plug on the outside. Next to Idle mixture screw. Is that the plug? Can it be removed without damage?

Just make sure they originate from a US seller before you commit to your purchase.

That's great. I have great luck with these carburetors. They work first time, every time.

So, what were the mods you had to do?

Had to mod the throttle arm. If you order one, look closely at the arm to be sure its the same as on your carb  :handgestures-thumbupright:

So exactly where did you find this carb? I've looked and can't find one close to what I need. It is for a '68 Raider 9 with the HH100.

Same one I bought. They come with a straight fuel tub or a 90 degree tube depending on you application. That top tub is for the crankcase ventilator.
