Ah. Cool. That clears up that. Thanks again!
Well, I checked. Float is working fine. Cuts off fuel as it should. No adjustment, of course, on this carb. But it's working.
Same results: Engine will run for a while while it's cold with the choke bypassed. Then just floods like a Niagara. Using the NT carb to get the engine hot then quickly swapping out gets me a little better result, presumably because I'm getting better combustion with a hot engine and a dry plug. Then, the spark plug looks like it's taken a swim regardless of which main jet I use, and again, at WOT with the smaller jets, it almost works.
Naturally, I'm not ruling out operator error. It's possible I broke something. It's also possible I just got a POS. Can't get the thing to work for love or money.
Speaking of the which, I've already wasted my money. Now, I am wasting no more time. Seriously, I am done with this carb.
Thanks, Jag, for your efforts. If, for scientific purposes, you are still curious, I'll even ship this carb to you at my expense, naturally, and you can check it out. Fixing it is beyond my current skills and admittedly limited patience.
something is definitely off. Is the float height set right and is it shutting off gas? (check with bowl off and move the floats up and down to see if fuel flow turns on and off). There's a pictorial on my site showing how to set the float height.
UP in jet size is bigger diameter.
