    82 GS550 won't cold start or fast idle.

    82 GS550 needed ether to cold start. Found problem, the wells in the float bowls that the brass tube for fuel enrichment circuit sits in also have a tiny hole at the bottom about .006 in diameter were plugged. I cleaned them out with a guitar string then blew out with carb cleaner. Reassembled and starts cold with fast idle now too. Chuck.

      That works, too, but that is why I soak the float bowls when I soak the carb bodies during a carb rebuild.
