Well i had some time but worked on the 65 lightwin i had on my work stand. Earlier i did a carb rebuild and it wouldn’t stay running. Wasn’t flooding just seemed to run out of fuel. Took the bowl off and nozzle, needle and float. Sprayed carb cleaner in every hole available and tweaked float angle. Not sure what i did but it’s running smoooth! Started right up And pushed choke off and put it down to idle and just purred. The fixed jet at the bottom “may” have been blocked, not sure but just happy it’s running! Need to replace impeller, no water at all out of the 2 rows of holes so shut it down fast. Ducktwin next.
