The needle looks ok, no real damage to it I can see. When I had the carb apart and the cap that you hammer in out of the body, I neglected to see if the needle screws all the way in, but it feels like it is. There is a definite stop at the bottom of the needle’s adjustment.
If I screw the needle in all the way except for the last maybe 15-20% I’ll see a little change, but nowhere near what I would expect to see with that much adjustment.
The fact that I see a change in running with an adjustment in the low speed is really throwing me off
I blew out everything, and while the carb wasn’t bad this motor was fairly crusty, I’m starting to wonder if there was actually corrosion in there I didn’t see. Ever run into that type of issue?
