: Larry, :The one that got me was the joint where the jet tube goes into the nut was not a good seal. I didn't find it right away because it was new and assumed it to be good. Ha Ha a repo part, should have known to check it out before using it. : Something to look for. : Good luck, : GW Thanks for the reply, Glen.I think.. Don't want to sound dumb, but the War Department says I am at times, but what does it mean when you say, "the joint where the jet tube goes into the nut"? Kinda sounds like a little jesting there.How about it Mike, Rick and the Bobs..Is he making fun at the old man? Larry Jenkins
: : I an going to buy Bratton's Carburetor Fuel Level Gauge, his Part No. A9599 shown on page 57 of his April, 1998 catalogue. He states in the description that the fuel level should be 5/8" below the seam of the carb.I have heard 1/2" also. : : Is 5/8" correct for a Zenith B carb, and what should the level be for a Tillotson?Any other thoughts on what may be causing a very rich running engine? : : Many thanks.. : : Larry Jenkins |
