Default Re: Carb rebuild

There's a full writeup with pics in my Cecilia thread of how to rebuild it (see my signature). There's a leather piece in there that cracks and gets worn out with age, or shrinks if it's dry too long.

You could also have a bad needle that isn't closing the gas line with the float. Those needles are just rubber so they wear too. There's a method of adjusting the float arm with a measuring tool, but I don't remember the particulars on it. I'd see if it works with a new needle and leather bit first.

Oh, and remember when you're torquing things back down that it's all aluminum so it'll strip out if you sneeze on it hard.

Some people are like slinkys. Not worth much but funny as heck when pushed down stairs.
