Re: Elton Ace Carb bubbling

quote Tom C:

I recoated the cork float. maybe I didn’t position it down far enough?

Anything that influences the carb float height can cause fuel level issues. I have no direct experience with the carb you’re working on, but they all have one thing in common – there is a relatively tight range for correct fuel level. By ‘tight’, I mean within +/- 1/16" for a small carb like this.

Also, I have no idea what condition your float was in prior to re-coating. If it had absorbed fuel, it’s still going to be heavier than spec, and as such, setting the fuel level too high. If you can easily adjust the float to a lower level, do it – move it by 1/16" or so, and see if it changes the behavior.

BTW, how does the motor run otherwise? Is it rich, lean or seem to be A-OK?
