I took out the carbs today. This is what I found
They didn't really look that dirty but I opened them up.
They have been opened recently by the looks of it the metal has the patina of carbs boiled in lemon juice.
This one the o-ring was not installed properly... there is a break in the o-ring and also this gray sticky melted crap
on the float bowl.
This is the difference between the 2 floats. The one on the left is from the one with the damaged o-ring. It also has
a big dent in one of the float halves. The other float looks new.
This is what it looks like underneath the float area. The 2 brass things are the jets. They have a slot that retains the black
clip. I can't remove the jets! There is supposed to be a slot for a screwdriver to screw them out... but there isn't!
This is the carb that had the good o-ring. Looks good as new. ... but I can't unscrew the jets either
It appears to me that the jets were installed upside down. I am not sure so I posted this for you guys to look at.
I didn't want to fuck with it anymore before I had an expert opinion.
I went on to take off the tops. This is the bad carb. The slide is a little grungy but the rubber part is perfect.
This is from the good carb. Also looks like new. It was gassy and wet when I opened it. (the other was dry)
I decided to take a break for coffee before I attempt the jets again. What do you think?
