OK…here is an update…
You referred to a hole that needs to be clean on the poppet valve. Below is the poppet valve. If this is the hole, I made sure it is clean.
This is a picture of the float. I dipped it twice into fuel proof dope. I think I need a new one!
I lapped the needle with valve grinding compound. This picture (below) shows the float with fuel in the bowl. I pushed the float down onto the needle until I felt the bottom clip "snap" into the groove. The fuel fills the bowl to about 1/2" from the top. I would have put it all back together but I lost the top clip that holds the float down! So, I am going to get some float material and make a float and get a clip to hold it down. The picture shows the one clip I did NOT lose and was put under the float after I took this picture.
Also, I made 2 washers for the needle adjustment so I think that is sealing better as well.
I don’t know how to check the poppet to make sure it open correctly. To make it work, it has to be installed. If it is installed I can’t see or measure it. Or, am I missing something??
Your thoughts???
