Here’s the carb.
Thanks, each fix gets me more and more hooked on this illness!Brad congrats...persistance pays
Good job Brad.
It sounds like Harry wants you to take it apart again, and take out the gasket to test his theory.
I did check for the gasket, there was one installed, guessing I reused the old one. The needle was bent so bad I couldn’t get it completely straight, and the jet was damaged as well. Not sure how my fix solved the problem. Hoping it doesn’t come back!Brad - well I'm glad you resolved your leaky carb issue, but honestly I don't see how replacing the main jet and high speed needle could have stopped the leaking.
What about the gasket on the needle seat I mentioned??? (And which you said your kit didn't have). Without that gasket I'm 99.999% positive that the carb will leak.
Kraig, Is that Hillman # 58087 A, just a washer thing a -mabob ? and not a sleeve or bushing ?The Hillman part number for the bronze bushing is 58087-A.
