welll i had a tiny one on there before with the rubber boot and it started up quick and everything went well
now it still starts up quick but it dies fast, i think if i took it off, it would be even worse
and i dont live in like, the desert where sand and armadillos are gonna get in my carb, but it was just winter and the trucks go NUTS putting sand down on the snow, and that stuff kicks up like crazy. but either way, the new parts come soon. so that should be the cure
