Another carb mystery!

Basically, the main jet is in a tube (needle valve, actually). In the hole around that tube a passage is drilled across to the pilot tower.

Normally, there is a plug over the pilot jet so the pilot circuit has to draw it's fuel allotment through that cross passage. This is why those carbs need a bigger main jet to cover both circuits usage.

What I am saying, is that if we take the plug off the pilot tower, the pilot should draw it's fuel through the newly open doorway, since it's a lot larger than the old x-port.

Then we should be able to drop the main size back down to 80-81 'normal'.

At worst, might have to put some solder in the x-port just to make sure the 2 circuits are 100% seperate.

What would nix this is if the pilot sits physically higher up the plugged carbs, so that the pilot wasn't in the fuel at the normal float set height.

I got the main jets that rasputin sent over, today. Pretty fast considering they were mailed yesterday!

Unfortunately, I am not going to be able to try them for a bit. I lost one of the rubber plugs, in my lawn, today.

What I did do, though, was compare the slides in the Suzy carbs to mine, and determined that I could use them in my carbs.

If you remember, from the other thread, the reason I need new carbs is that one of the carb bodies I have was deformed by the PO. Also, my Plasti-dip diapragm repairs are not holding. The plastidip is softening up in use, and then they leak, and the slides stick.

So, right now, I have the yammy carbs on, with a buggered #1 idle mixture screw, but with the suzy slides in them, and so far they seem to be working fairly well.
