BT, that was the first thing I put to them and they didn't seem surprised at my suggestion.
AVB I also had one the other day when I too the top off the air cleaner the throat of it had 1/2 inch of fuel sitting in it. It had hydrolocked the motor so when I removed the plug and pulled it over the fuel sprayed out 2 feet. I have been doing this sort of stuff for nearly 60 years and you never know what trick is going to catch you out on the next thing you work on
The crazy thing with these it is cheaper to buy a complete new carby than to buy a replacement float needle
