So I'm putting my carbs back together after a complete teardown and cleaning, and new o-rings from cycleorings.com. One thing I am noticing is that it is incredibly difficult to insert the float needle seat (inlet valve seat?). Is this normal? It's so tight that it seems it is going to get stuck.

Nevermind, I just put some grease on it and pushed real hard, popped right in. I guess that's how it's SUPPOSED to be haha, it certainly wasn't this way when i took it out. In fact it gave no resistance at all when i pulled it out

I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.Comment
