| Thanks, Jack One often overlooked possibility is a dimple worn in the float arm where it contacts the needle. Another is the float dragging on the side of the float bowl or the central part of the carburetor. Be sure you have a good filter to prevent any particles from lodging between the needle and seat and that the whole system is not gummy from the fuel. Any slight groove on the needle or defect on the seat can cause this. Sometimes removing the float and lightly tapping the needle into the seat will help. If you do not know the adjustment procedure, you may not have the level set correctly. Sometimes the float is heavy from fuel inside it if it is hollow or from saturation if it is plastic. May be best to get a new float and a new needle and seat assembly. |
| Weve checked with quite a few local garages and all of them referred us to a local gent who is recognized as being a homegrown "carb god". The bad news is that he works on everything *but* Holley carbs. If youre asking yourself how this guy could be a carburetor holy man but not work on Holleys stuff, well, so were we. |
| from looking at the exploded parts view of the CARBURETOR REPAIR kit I can see exactly where the needle is located on your carburetor and the spring that goes on it. |
| What our friends are looking for now is a place where they can send the carburetor to have it re-worked and brought back up to snuff. Im clueless about such things so I thought I would toss this one out to my Blue Oval brethren and see if you guys and gals might have some suggestions. |
| The walbro carburetors are pretty simple.If nipple you were talking about is a primer buld you should be able just get them two lil bolts lose and replace bulb. If you are not sure which of two hoses go where you can try either way,It wont hurt :) good luck. MittyMit "Geoff Sanders" ???????/???????? ? ???????? ?????????: news:3F987F38.56414676@hevanet.com...
