well i found out why my stock units were pissing fuel...one of the floats doesnt float it must have a pin hole i cant see, but given a shake you can hear the fuel sloshing around inside it.starts well, but a bit too well for a test ride. ill keep you updated.if nothing else the new carbs are worth it for the floats and random jets
Or the timing is off. I chased a problem of "hole'n" pistons for about two years. 9 pistons later I finally found the ignition failed internally (bearing apple cored the shaft) where I could not see it. I would think a lack of lubrication would lead to a seizure of the piston to cylinder wall. paul
