Re: eska carb rebuild kit?
well, no phone call from eskaman, and it rained here today. so I re-assembled the carb, using the all metal needle and the original brass seat. put it all back together and as somewhat predicted that did not work. flooded it.
so tomorrow if I don't go to the lake. I will remove tank, and carb, disassemble and hopefully get some pics. I got 2 more ways to go about this. next, I will re-assemble using the orig needle with Viton tip. I played with that today when I was figuring out which way to try first. it was sticking to the seat at times. the 3rd way will be to push the viton seat down the tube. in doing so, this makes the needle valve sit out of the tube too far(this is my original problem). this will require me to grind & file down the top part of the needle, where the spring attaches to shorten the height. since I am sure I can't replicate that little groove the hook spring sits in, I will try to leave a little stub piece on top to hold the original needle coil spring on to that. that will take awhile as I have a bench grinder, dremel tool, and hand files to help achieve that. the other is just to order the right parts from Pat's for another $13. I figure what the hell, I might as well try, apparently I "own" the parts now, and I'm retired. lots of time.
it keeps rainin, the Mississippi is pushing on the levees. beer, babes, blues and billiards tonite.
eskaman did enclose several pages, but if their is a manual handy on line and the price is right let me know. I have cleaned the carb out, put the new parts in. worked on a few carbs in my time... lawn mower, chain saw, weed eaters, Rochester quadrajets, Carters, Holleys.
