Ah,
Well, that's good, I guess. I just saw a previous post that included the 1951 version of the carb's manual. It showed a close-up of the power piston (which is supposed to move, of course). Also showed that you have to check to make sure the correct angle is on the seat. I have already buggered up that angle, so I guess I might as well go for broke and yank the danged thing out.
And start looking for a donor carb...
Thanks for the reply!,
Jim
