Re: carb question….

OK, so I filed the first 1/8 in of threads a little and things went together. Try it out tomorrow.
Also did the carb of our old Lawnboy mower, also a Gale product. The floats are supposed to be the same but actually aren’t, as the Lawnboy carb has an intrusion that needs a relief cut into the float opposite the arm.

So I played around with floating several floats in gasoline. Most buoyant was the new plastic foam float. Second the cork one I dipped in POR15 a few weeks ago. The cork Lawnboy float didn’t seem to have lost it’s coating, but another cork float from a motor that sat with its carb full of water barely floated. Hard to say what these differences would mean operationally.

Anybody remember the carbs on Datsun 510s? Hitachis, I think. Big glass window on the side of the float bowl ….could really see what was going on in there.
