Hi Norm,
First of all a big thanks for helping me get the bast#ard to work.
Apologies for not getting back to you earlier but i've been interstate on work.
To answer one of your queries, all we did with your smokin carby was bolt it on to my engine. It started and ran well and didn't smoke at all. It idled quite quickly but we had control from fast idle to run speed. I think I suggest that we may have dislodged dirt from under the seat and this prevented the potential slow flood that you may have been experiencing? Again, the plastic needles are very agricultural..... I had to buy three of three of them before I got one that seated off properly on high float level.... not really an issue at $1.00 each but incredibly annoying!!
I'm just about to install the kill switch wiring and mow the grass that is now ankle high. I'll let you know how the bast#ard goes..... Guess I'll just go have to quickly move the throttle level through the dead spot to stop the engine from cutting out.
These plastic carbies really are a pain in the Arse. I guess this is where Victa made money but also pissed off a lot of people ..... $160 for a new one is absolutely absurd!! I think I just keep hunting around for an old Amal 361 ..... at least they are reliable!
Give me a call (0401 143922)if you want me to bring over my "working carby" and we'll have a play with "old smoky" and have a milkshake as well.
