Carb Floats
Hi Rob. This may be applicable.Seems you looked at everything else.When I was working on one of my spare sets of 79's, I switched out the brass for the foam ones. Found that the float bottomed out and stuck on one side on the passage that runs diagonally across the bottom of the carb body. Probably the pilot, can't remember off hand. Anyway I wound up having to shave a bit off the curved portion and make sure the float was centerd between the posts to get a smooth action. I've bought a couple sets of foam floats now and some had the sleeve for centering and some didn't. If that is the carb body I sent you and it's screwed, I have another here you can try. You know. To zero in on this issue you may have to split the carbs again and check them all individually.
