    Wedgie, I soaked the carb overnight in OMC tuner. It
    seems to work pretty good. I’d be more inclined to
    try the torch and penetrating oil on the high speed
    nozzle again (and may yet) if I find out it has
    affect on the low speed circuit.
    Seems like in the good old days there were diagrams
    that shows the fuel flow / circuits. I try to figure
    them out myself, to see how they work, but I think I’d need an x-ray machine
    for this one!
    The old carb gasket is the rubber type and seems okay.
    The one in the carb kit is a fiber gasket, which I suppose
    would work okay too.
    I used a ultrasonic cleaner at work years ago to clean my
    watch band….. worked great and the band was tighter
    after from getting all the crud out.
    Thanks
