Everything has been disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled, including the new gaskets from the kit of course. I got the rod and jet kit just to mess with it and see what sort of trouble that can get me into once driving season is back on, which hopefully will be in the next few weeks.
Questions at this point:
-
the riser. I really wanna get a non-metallic riser in there because from what I understand it goes a long way toward ensuring no percolation/boiling fuel when the engine is hot. Does anyone have any input at all?
-
I already fully reassembled the carb including putting the air horn back on, but my gut is telling me I’ll wanna mount the main body and then fill the bowls up at least a bit with fuel before putting the top back on and going to fire her up for the first time. Is that unnecessary? Just start with em empty? Or is it best to start with some fuel in the bowls?
