Got the new float in and now I broke the outside linkage on the secondaries. By the time I'm done getting this thing right I could've just bought a new carb. Think alot of my problems stem from the fact that I was told the carb and manifold I bought had been left outside in the rain then cleaned up. Wish I would have know in the beginning but the seller of the carb and manifold neglected to tell me of the above. Life goes on!!!:rant:
If this carb is the original, consider the fact that it would likely be a bastard carb if you bought another. Rebuilders typically "re-meter" these carbs to match one of a few they sell to cover all of the bases. I am not sure of the link you broke, however, it is likely that unless it is a metering component, it is replaceable. It really is too bad that Q-jet techs are becoming fewer and fewer. Interested in carrying a torch being passed? Ray
Something else to consider here is the possibility that something is getting past the filter, though unlikely. Nitrophyl floats are typically intolerant of the crap that now passes as fuel. Did the new float take care of the original complaint of flooding? Ray
Gonna get a new (old) base plate and swap things out and see what happens. You just can't run out and get the spring.
