I'd rather fix the problem rather than band aid it haha (fuel switch)
I think I will probably rebuild before I do that haha

and yes on the first gens 13b's lasting longer- I have an fb with 201,000 on it now and its running fine still though its a 12a so its going to end up with the housing flaking catching up with it first
