I just got done checking float drops and the seals around the accelerator pump lifter link. The seals are installed and the float drops were set at 9/32" per specs. I lowered the float drops to 1/2" and will see if the leaks get better. So far they are not leaking as much; however, I don't think that this solved the problem because the lower float setting seems to have created a slight stumble upon acceleration, just as I was afraid it would.

It still seems as if another Carter YF I took apart several years ago had a thin shim that fit around the accelerator pump lifter link and was on top of the seal and forced the seal down onto the float bowl. I think I might be missing those shims on my 2100s. Does anybody else recall the shims and if they exist where do I find replacements?
