Frank,
Do you know if this also applies to the 5HP Gales? I am working on a 5HP Viking with the integral tank. I took a carb body from a 1958/59 motor that had a remote tank. I see that the motor with the integral tank has fittings with a larger ID on the tank and carb inlet. Should the needle have the larger opening too? I see now that the part number changes when the integral tank is omitted, but do not have a needle and seat on hand to visually compare.
I could not get the seat out of the old carb body no matter what I tried. Someone has definitely done a shadetree job of putting a kit in it and I am now wondering if they somehow glued a smaller seat into the larger threaded opening.
