I'll bet that helps the Ol' MPG
03/10/07 at 17:52:46

The tab on the float was straight as an arrow. Sittin pretty high I'd say. No wonder my MPG was stinkin so bad. I did manage to mess up reading the callipers. I didn't set the depth gauge un where the gasket goes, but up on the ridge. When I was about to call it done I realized the manual specifies "No Gasket",& that caused me to think. I redid it.
This gave me the opportunity to check for the washer under the main jet. Yep, ther's one poked up in there. I won't worry about the petrooster right now, tho I think it has a very small leak. I can smell gas in the vac line & there was some sign of gas on the brass tube sticking out of the carb the vac line goes on, but so little I cant see it as an issue. Well, not today, but soon.

Come on. I bet that you can smell gas anywhere around that carburetor. Especially after you've opened it up.

Do you really want a leak in that hose or what? Seems like you do Tongue

I would check it.

(Man,that LOOKs so bad in writing. Y'all Shaddup) Anyway, nothing came out. I stuck my tongue on it & held the vacuum for a few seconds & it stayed so I am calling it good.

Now that's what I call a biker!

If it's any consolation, yesterday I blew on a hole in the head to see where it came out.
