I just started my rebuilt engine for the first time and have gone thru the
preliminary carb and ignition adjustments. It is running very rich. Looking
for possible causes. I set the nylon floats at 3/16-inch during carb rebuild,
but find conflicts with this setting in various publications and/or data
sheets. They show 1/8-inch to 5/16-inch and sometimes vary depending on the
actual float material. Any have any other info? What is correct? Another
couple symptoms are that the rich/lean jet adjustments have no effect on
engine RPM and some fuel drips from the forward manifold drain tube. They
have been synchronized. Suggestion will be appreciated!
