Thanks for the quick reply!

So do you think I should put in a bunch more screws and just repair the bottom 12" or so? Or cut it 54" up and install 54" x 12' sheets? I'm not too terribly concerned...

Honda GCV160 Surging (new carb)

I searched all over the place for "GCV160 surging" and all I get back is to clean the carb or run seafoam through it. I did that and it still surged. So I bought a new, genuine Honda carb. I...

It hadn't occurred to me to do that (move the wires to the side terminals) until after I left. It's no big deal - I can install the new outlet tomorrow. I'm hoping that's the issue.
