Thanks grumpy, I will be sure to check this out!
Question though.. Even if I have a situation where by the fuel bowl is flooding, how come it seeps from the gasket seal rather than escape through an overflow?
Under normal circumstances (a good sealing carb) If I tip the machine excessivley back so that fuel is as high or higher than the gasket, the gasket should seal the bowl properly shouldn't it?
I understand I need to fix the root cause of why the bowl is flooding, I just can't understand why its leaking from an area sealed by a brand new gasket and two cleaned surfaces?
I'm thinking the casting may be ever so slightly warped in the corners where the screws attach to bowl to the carb body resulting in an improper seal due to low spots between the screws. Very hard to explain, only someone who has had a simalar problem would probably understand.
I will purchase a new needle and seat (although the one I have does not look bad) and try, but my hope for the leaking issues may be only half fixed. The seat on this carb can be simply unscrewed with a flat blade screwdriver.
Very frustrating!! Anyone else had this problem?
Craig.
