When I open the fuel shut off and the gas goes into the “warm”
carburetor, it vaporizes some. Someone added this little brass
bushing for a better fit of the float needle. It’s not so tight that
the float pin sticks but when pressure is created in the float
bowl it cant escape fast enough forcing fuel out the main jet
– as billw has described.
Its done so well that it looks factory. I was considering drilling
a hole in cover when I noticed none of the other carb’s I was
looking at, for some indication of what the problem could be,
has this bushing in the cover.
