Slant Six Carb Issues

Well guys, I found my culprit. Turns out, it was my needle and seat. Rubber-tipped needle had begun to come apart after 3 years of ethanol gas usage. I robbed one off my old 1920 carb. I also robbed a check ball, because I had lost mine at some point. It is a little surprising how much can be taken from a completely different model carb and used in mine. Anyway. It seems to be running okay now. I also ordered a new needle and seat to keep on hand, because my 1920 is a couple years older even than my 1945, but at least hadn’t seen as much ethanol usage. So after all that. After dropping the $30 on a pressure gauge, $20 on a new float, and another $35 on a regulator (which didn’t fix the issue at all), it turned out that the real problem all along was none of those things. It seems to be running okay now. It idled for a solid 20 minutes and didn’t flood. Haven’t tried driving it yet, because I’m still a little scared to, but maybe soon.
