Default Happy to help

The piece of crud I found was in the needle seat.. keeping the needle open just a wee bit.. but I also had intermittent overflow problems (heavy dribbling, I mean it filled the carb and flowed over the top several times and washed gas onto my intake, that was scary even with the giant fire extinguisher I was carrying ! This happened because the carb was not in any way properly tuned or adjusted when delivered) the overflow condition was from the floats being too high
