[QUOTE="whenfoxforks-ruled, post: 1393306, member: 73147"] Leaky carb after putting it back together, rap the bowl with the handle of a screw driver. The float valve hangs up sometimes. Unmaintained carbs get some really destructive corrosion between the different metals, and moisture does not help. The gallon cans of carb cleaner will get the scum off, do not leave it too long though. It will pickle/dis-color the aluminum. Jet from the pilot, and if you can not get the air screw to adjust with in range, after 3 pilot jet sizes, it is likely a problem some where else. The float valve itself is a likely culprit for rich jetting. They do not always leak on the ground, sometimes it fills the crank cases! Vintage Bob [/QUOTE]
