Thx again Jon, will give that a shot...
Yeh, as it had a lot of the stuff from the original 235 on the 270, I thought I'd try to keep it as original as possible (lol)! And since I knew it ran fine with all of that stuff on it, I didn't think there was any risk in keeping it.
Edit: again interestingly, after looking at more pictures of my setup, the port where the drip tube is attached to the carburetor at the top near the idle adjustment screw (in your post), actually runs over to the vacuum on the distributor of my motor. That's the way it was when I bought it, so that's the way I put it back together. That make sense?
