Very dependable and not expensive.
Trouble is, nobody makes an advance unit that isn't a mini-grenade anymore.....I have a collection of exploded advance units in my workshop...solid state does it for me these days :-)

If you still have the rubber intake spray it with starting fluid at idle. If the idle jumps you have a leak. I replaced mine with a solid intake.

Stuffed coil, dead plug or maybe the accelerator pump is adjusted wrong?
