excess fuel in #2

[justmount1]

ok i just purchased it now all i have to do is wait for it and look forward to digging into those carbs. i also bought the chem-dip today. look forward to getting it done. don't worry everyone i am also going to change p/c, air filter, all spark plugs, boots (engine side). sad to say that i won't be driving it for a while but when i get it all done at least it should be all good to go. main reason for not getting it done for a while is that i don't have the funds at this moment for all this stuff.

I just took off some stuck rail screws with a vise grips. Those screw heads are pretty meaty and hold the grips well.

chef I am in the proces of dipping my carbs for the first time and I've dipped the float needles. I noticed the little nipples look a little discolored. Are these damaged?

i tried using vise grips and they just chewed up the screw and slipped off no matter how tight i got them

If they are all metal they should be ok. I've never dipped mine because I always replaced them with new.

impact worked wonders once i figured out how to use it lol. well wish me luck, i will let you guys know how it goes or if i have any further probs. at least i got the rails off been trying for a week. by the way they are cv carbs right?

Dont know for sure.If they look like a mushroom they are!. There is a step by step procedure on the front page of the sight that will show you everything to do. The carb cleanup series.

Before you go tearing the carbs apart, test the petcock! I just had the same problem. The diaphram for the petcock had a pinhole in it. Drove me nuts!
Easy test. Attach a clear hose to the vacuum port. Suck on the hose and see if you see any fuel. There shouldn't be any. The petcock gets it's signal from #2 cyl.

i did that already as i already postedbut i am changing it anyways. it is the original. i want to do these carbs so i can know for sure that they are done right

[justmount1]

well #1 is in the dip had a prob with pilot screw but finally decided to pound a poker tool into hole a little and just pull out. i unscrewed it fine but it would not come out. i think i can actually get this thing done in the next few days, maybe even tomorrow. how long should i leave in the dip?

[justmount1]

robert barr i just ordered some o-rings from you hopefully i can get those soon so i can get this beast back on the road or at least the carbs finished.

ok all i don't have a dremel and a screw on top of #2 is all stripped out. wasn't me i swear. but at least #1 has been dipped and ready to be put back together once i get the orings in
