It’s an on board gravity fed tank on this one.
When cleaning the carb in the ultrasonic, I dropped the brass float in some gas and it didn’t sink,so I think it is good. when checking the float height by flipping the bowl upside down, the front edge hung slightly lower ( about 1/32 inch) than the hinged side. IE it was not parallel to the rim of the bowl. Wonder if it should be squared up a bit or if this is normal or does it matter much?
I cleaned the tank and sintered filter, blew out the petcock and fuel line and so I just assumed it should flow. I will double check though as we all know about ASSumptions eh !When I cleaned the carb I did not remove the welch plug, as I don’t have a replacement on hand.
Speaking of welch plugs. After i took the carb out of the ultrasonic Pine Sol water mix,I blew it out with compressed air and noticed bubbles emanating from the welch plug, so I sealed that up with nail polish.
I also left the inlet seat in as I don’t have a replacement on had . That and the fact I started to strip out the slot in the brass seat ,for want of the right sized screwdriver. The needle looked OK, at least to my failing peepers.
