Ok, have had this BBD for some time. I rebuilt it, also drilled out + rebushed the throttle shaft, choke shaft, and pump shaft holes. Everything is solid, smooth action with no play.
Problem: I had never gotten this carburetor to work correctly in the past. This time I have attempted to install it, as usual I could not get it to idle worth 10 cents. It acts like it wants all of the idle air. All of it. Like, take the screws out and it would be a happy hobbit. At 3000 rpm.
That tells me its rich.
When I unplug my vacuum gauge from the small manifold port on the base (below and right of the right-side idle-air screw), gas dribbles out. But not constant. Few drops, and thats it.
Is it leaking internally from someplace? Anyone have any idea/experience? Do I just suck at carburetors?
