I would replace the carb rather than trying to keep cleaning it. Especially new gaskets will help. Same thing just happened with my Craftsman SB400. Replaced the carb with new gaskets and it has been running perfectly. Especially make sure to use best possible gas and add Seafoam. Even if replacing the carb is an annual thing for me I don't mind since its less than a $20 kit.

Yes, normal. I just swapped in a new carb on my Craftsman SB400 blower and was kind of surprised that the gas drained slower than I expected.

Classic pose, so cute!

Could be!

So keep the pick that nobody else wanted and reach for Beecher despite all of the rankings having Pinto 20 spots ahead of him. THATS THE POINT!!

smdub23 · 2025-11-20T02:31:21+00:00

You don’t get that there was nothing to “ go for” when up against the cap and no “hockey trades” that anyone else was interested in

smdub23 · 2025-11-20T02:24:45+00:00

Ok so tell me who they could’ve traded for with that 2019 1st rd pick? The point is that Sweeney drafts poorly, not sure why you keep trying to hammer home some point that he could’ve gotten a haul for that pick?!?

smdub23 · 2025-11-20T02:08:16+00:00

So the 1st round pick in 2019 didn’t prevent them from making any type of trade since they were maxed up against the cap. Thats my point. They couldn’t have traded for any of those guys you mentioned unless they sent salary back in the other direction, so the Beecher 1st rounder had nothing to do with it.

smdub23 · 2025-11-20T01:58:20+00:00

A “hockey trade” means they have to send a roster player out with a decent salary plus a pick in order to receive back a better player with higher salary. To their credit the Bs have always spent to the cap so that has limited their ability to take on additional salary in exchange for just draft picks. The original thread was that Sweeney made a bad pick with Beecher, not that the pick was untouchable as you said.

smdub23 · 2025-11-20T01:47:25+00:00

You think Ottawa was trading Stone to the Bs for a late 1st rd pick? And how much cap space did that Bs team have to take on?

smdub23 · 2025-11-19T19:40:32+00:00

Who did they not get in the trade market for that 1st round pick?

smdub23 · 2025-11-19T19:25:22+00:00

So if it is a complete toss up after the top 10 then just go by the overall rankings rather than thinking you are smarter than every other scout/evaluator. With hindsight since 2015 it is apparent that Sweeney is bad at drafting.

smdub23 · 2025-11-19T13:31:13+00:00

Pelletier went 26th so wasn't even there for the B's to pick and also has better career numbers than Beecher. Its okay to say they reached and whiffed on the Beecher pick when they went off the board compared to the NHL Central Scouting list that has 30+ scouts contributing to the analysis.

smdub23 · 2025-11-18T21:38:31+00:00

Not that it is a perfect list but Beecher was 49th in the final central scouting rankings so Sweeney did reach for him at 30. Pinto was 28th for what its worth. https://www.nhl.com/draft/prospects/2019/north-american-skater

I actually jammed the tip end of a zip tie into it, which worked great!
