Hi Terry,
Problem is the pin does not go through the carb body. It is inaccessible
when the carb is fully assembled, nor is there a slot or hole for it to go
in so it can fit flush.
Perhaps the piston is mis-matched with the carb body and I have one that is
supposed to be used with a carb that has an external pin to check the
mixture?
My thought/worry is that since it does not fit flush I'll have use the
mixture to compensate for it as it'll want to run lean?
Thanks,
Scott
