I super checked the ebay carb since it was...well....a used ebay carb. The secondary mechanical linkage looks really good with a roller bearing. This is a chokeless carb so thats one less variable to worry about. I've always ran without a choke. The secondaries were 72's and primaries 70's but the metering block was stuck with an especially sticky gasket so I figured that the heat and gasoline would loosen it up and I'd check the power valve next week.
For filling the holes, I'm going to use some of the round topped metal screws with the stems cut off (identical to the ones that hold the butterflies on the throttle shaft).
I've heard someone say that you can pour 1/2 a quart of oil down the intake of a running engine to stall it right before storing it for the winter to keep rust off. I figure I did this in effect.
How does one "de-fog" an engine properly and get the oil out other than throttle blipping till it starts running properly?
Any ideas on how to clean the backup avenger?
