Carb Question
Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2004 8:42 am
Hello,
I am trying this year to stop my carb from leaking. After years of float adjustment, I felt it was time to change the needle and seat. After seeing the new one it was clear the old one was warn. I was going to change the float but the cost was too much $70.00 CND. Got new parts in and of course it just flooding as the float tang had been adjusted up to compensate for the wear on the needle. Ater a day for putting carb on and off and checking fuel level with the tube we all should have by now
it stopped leaking and level is about wear it should be.
Problem?
Needs choke to start even when warm but just for a second till she kicks (before I needed no choke) But she runs reaves and idles well.
Comments welcome
I am going to re-time and adjust valves to-day and see how she does under a load. I don't want to spend the day covered in gas, but it is a great way to stop smoking.
Thanks
Dave
