Not sure if I remember the whole tread, but you had running problems with one cylinder bank, yes? If so, you have found the cause. It would seriously disturb fuel level in the carb, making it run richer(I think) than the other side. J. -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ |

You were right all the time. I finally got time to remove the carb, as if it was a big deal (one minute job). It was pretty messed up. Someone had used gorilla snot on the gas spigot and there were little rubber balls in the filter. Plus the nuts holding the carb to the manifold were almost finger-tight and the gasket there was swollen loose with pieces in the small vacuum holes at the bottom of the carb. I purged the carb, blew out the passages. One was choked up. I ordered a couple rebuild kits from John at aircooled.net Thanks for all the help. How the float got that way is a mystery. Maybe the PO put it in his back pocket. Wait! Where was Mario that day? |

I have seen it before on brass floats, just cant seem to remember where/when.. There is a logical explanation to it. It involves a small leak and temp. difference , yes? I hope others can chime in, cause I do not seem to be able to recollect at the moment. A wild theory: Stored outside during winter with water in one carb.. (I know that is not it). The last one I saw like yours where from a carb used on an old inboard boat engine. J. Maybe > the PO put it in his back pocket. Wait! Where was Mario that day? > |
