HELP!

Looking down in the carb I can see large drops of fuel coming out of the main jet. It is dripping directly into the intake manifold - it does not appear to emulsify/vaporise.

I took the carb apart and made sure all the jets were clear, ensured that the float needle was not sticking, verified that the float level was correct, verified the fuel pump pressure, ~2.5 psi, which is within spec.

I also checked the economy device. Although the diaphragm appears to be ok, I cannot tell for sure. It there any easy way to verify it? Could this be the source of my problem? If so, where can I get a replacement? Or can it be repaired?

Any other ideas?

Any help would be greatly appreciated - I'm stumped!

Thx.

I checked the float level as specified in the Service Manual (32-33 mm from highest point of float to the face of the gasket).

I also checked the needle seating by trying to blow in the fuel inlet while lightly holding the float up - it appeared to be creating a tight seal. I guess the method is not very scientific. I can always try it again by applying 2.5-3 PSI in the fuel inlet while the carb is assembled an see if it leaks.
