    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I have my carbs all apart and am inspecting them. I am using Base Cliffs tutorial. He mentions the needle spring has to be smooth. I am assuming he means the small metal tab between the floats?? If so I have a very small dot where the needle pushes against the tab. Do I need to replace the floats???

I'm pretty sure he's referring to the tip of the float needle that sits in the inlet valve. They get a round groove in them and let gas by.

Is that little wear spot in the tab a problem or can I just leave it go?
 
Let it go. When you set your float levels it shouldn't make any difference.
 
Thanks

Thanks

:D Thanks for your time guys it is much appreciated. If Base Cliff is out there thanks a million for the tutorial. I would be in the dumper without it. I am hoping everything goes smooth from here on out.
