I ordered 6 new carb kits Sunday.
New floats and all. Maybe new bowls didnt get along with old floats! At $20. Per kit, well worth the piece of mind, new gaskets and all.
will meticulously clean and exam each carb.
will report back!
Took apart, cleaned, reassembled with all new gaskets, floats, needles, seats.
Discovered that 2 out of 6 high speed jets were 57d, instead of 70d’s.
Ordered 2 70d’s. Broke shifter cable. (Dammit)
ordered new shifter and throttle cables. (25 years old, so....)
will report back!
