Here's
part 1 of this story. And now the flood of questions begin:
I finally got around to getting the carb off and have the top off of the float bowl. I got the accelerator pump piston out and looked at the gasket around it, and it has wear lines completely up one half of it, and the other half has wear lines up only half of the rubber. It also felt rather loose in the well that it sits in compared to the new accel. pump that was in the rebuild kit.
I've already hooked up the new pump, and I'm wondering if I should take out the pump discharge spring and ball, and replace them too while I have it apart?
Plus, if I ought to replace the spring and ball, how do I get the little "T" shaped piece out, just tug on it with a pair of needle nose pliers? It seemed like it was in there pretty darn tight when I tried taking it out.
I'm also going to check the float settings before I put it back together. How much side to side clearance do the floats have? I noticed that there is a little bit of wear on the inside of one of the floats that had a matching spot on the bowl side of the throat. I'm guessing that I can bend it out 1/16" or so, just enough to get it to clear?
I'll post the pictures that I have in a little bit once I get them off of my camera.
Thanks
