Default 97 Wolverine power loss

I finally got it back from the shop!! There were two problems with it. the first one was that the vacuum passage on the side of the carb was cracked at the top. being unable to find this part from the dealer or aftermarket, we "gooped" it, and put a large wiretie around the carb to hold it against the top of the carb. The second problem was a bit harder to find. The large diaphram at the top of the carb had a fine crack in it. It could not be found until the diaphram was completely disassembled, and even then, it had to be stretched to be seen. While we were at it, all fluids were changed, and front u-joints were put in. It is like driving a new machine! More power than it has had since I have owned it. Thanks to all who responded with suggestions!
