carb woes revisited

Posted by wvhogleg on August 26, 2002 at 08:10:10 from (208.169.106.234):

ok, i took all y'alls advice and check out the carb on my '52 cub. gas ran out of the gas line that ran from the sediment bowl to the card in a nice flow. i checked out the inside of the carb again, and with the gas turned on, there was hardly any gas coming out of the carb drain plug. so i checked the needle. sure enough the needle that came with the rebuild kit had a rubber point at the top. also, the float was adjusted so that it wasnt letting the needle come down any, hence the lack of gas into the carb. i put an old needle i had, which still looked pretty good, back in, and adjusted the float so it would let more gas into the carb. i started it up, and it ran ok for a bit. i can now open the choke a little bit, but if i open it just a hair too much, the engine dies off. do you think i need to adjust the float even more, to let the gas in faster? it is almost turning out that i should have just cleaned the carb and it's parts in solvent, and really only would have needed the gaskets. thanks for the help.
