    Johnny SuperSeahorse 40hp RK-28 (1966) Rebuilding the carb, and it's been a couple of weeks since I tore it down :facepalm: So, which way does the needle bushing go in. # 55 on the diagram.

    Would 'ya believe...

    ...110,000 miles on Champion sparkplugs in a Chrysler 2.7L? :eek: Yep, they were well worn. Might be why the car started running crappy yesterday. Had NO idea they had been in that long, simply did not realize that I had racked up the milage. And, the valve cover seal for the #2 cylinder had...
