Picked up the motor in the title. It has a BA-1A carb. I bought a rebuild kit and found a couple differences. 1- the carb as I got it seemed to have 2 fuel diagrams in the pump. Kit came with one, so that’s what I put back in. 2- The kit, which was listed as a Tillotson kit for this carb included a new needle. It’s a different style. The one in the carb is longer with no spring. The new one is shorter with a spring on top. I put it in and adjusted the float so the seam is parallel to the body when holding it upside down. The drop is maybe 1/2-3/4”
I put everything together and it runs, but is far from right. It will start, but will only run at a fast idle and eventually Boggs out unless I work the throttle a bit.
Should I be concerned about the different style needle and what should the float adjustment be?
It ran better before rebuild, even with trash in it.
