Reply To: Elto carb question

[tinkerman]

Oh so it acts (used to) as a set screw for the other needle. That makes sense cuz I was wondering what kept the other needle in place. Maybe I can wrap some Teflon around the horizontal screw and accomplish the same goal. I think I can figure something out. I think I was really wanting you to say no it don’t belong and that’s probably where your trouble is. Anyway I recoated the cork float with 2 part clear epoxy and waiting on that to cure , and I bent the little brass tab to keep the float from moving up and down on the needle valve. Cleaned and sprayed everything I could see and some I couldn’t on the carb so maybe I try again later. If I had gas spilling out the carb float needle hole on top, this would cause too much fuel in the cylinders, correct? Or no? Any suggestions appreciated. It sounded like it tried to hit once or twice but nothing consistent

It's a jungle out there.
