I witnessed a similar situation at one of our meets. A member who knew his stuff was also pulling his hair out for the exact same reason. Then it dawned on him….do not assume that all the lead shots or similar “plugs” should be there. Maybe a previous owner; out of frustration related to stopping a leak caused by a bad needle valve……decide to plug one of the holes that gas was coming out of. So….the vent hole was plugged…..but of course it should not have been. We removed that plug and…..with the vent restored….everything was good.
Maybe compare with another JW carb…..and see what lead shots should be there…..and which ones might have been “added”…..
