Yes, you're right. (I used to live in BGD).
Does anybody have comments on the drain plug that is loose??? Drain plug at bottom of the carb cup is not very tight - was able to open with my fingers and when used tools to screw back would just turn around.***Is it supposed to be like that or I have to replace the bottom cup w/drain plug???***
Thanks

It sounds like the threads in the float bowl are stripped. The previous owner must have overtightened the drain plug. It sounds like you can still thread the plug all the way, so I would try Permatex thread sealant.

If not, just tap it one size larger and use a stainless screw/bolt.

Thanks. Permatex sealant is working fine (so far) with the plug.
I am still preparing for my carb cleaning job... Thinking to cheat a bit - just take the bottom cup off and clean what I can reach.
**Is that OK or very bad idea???

If you try to clean it that way, you'll have a hard time getting all the air and fuel circuits clean. That is, the small passages in the carb body.
