Ordered 4 struts, initiated a turn so I could instead buy the full assembly. All 4 struts came in the same box I believe and same brand/warhouse. When I got my return label, it only lists 1 part as being returned, although on my rock auto account it says all 4 struts have the return initiated.

Do I just send them all 4 struts and hope they figure it out? Any advice?

Tore down and cleaned carb twice, all pieces. Cleaned fuel lines etc. when I unhook the fuel line from the carb, fuel leaks out of it, so it’s NOT the lines. The tube on the carburetor that the fuel line attaches to seems to maybe be clogged/shut I think? Because fuel makes it to there and that’s it. When I squirt gas into the carb, it runs for a second or two then dies. So I’m pretty sure it’s the little tube the fuel line connects to, but I’m not an expert.

Any advice? Anything I’m not thinking of? Do I just buy a new carb since cleaning it (including the fuel intake piece I suspect is bad) doesnt work?

Every time I try starting it repeatedly, there’s never fuel in the carb.

I have a worn VSS with 3 full 30 round mags, and a pristine SSG 82 with 2 full mags and a box of ammo.

Just found a worn KA74 with no mags, but I’m at a military base that’s full of ammo, parts, and probably mags. Plus, I see them waaay more frequently.

Originally I was trying to ditch the VSS because I couldn’t find ammo for it, just happened to stumble upon some. In the meantime, I see 5.45x39 CONSTANTLY.

Alternately, I guess I could get rid of the SSG 82, but it’s acting as my “sniper” and I probably should keep something to fill that role.

Is it worth starting from scratch and ditching my VSS in favor of a KA74 and running two guns with the same ammo?
