    carb swap

    I'm tired of trying to figure out how to "adjust" my carb so I can start it in the morning so I git a "new" from the junk yard....gonna change them, any helpful tips before I go ahead? BTW I heard that you are NOT suppose to turn the carbs upside down. It kinda slipped ouot of my hand and went sideways...is it still ok?

    you don't turn carbs upside down because there a lot of screws that can come out of place !

    cv joint instead

    I think I'll change my cv joint instead, I wanna give myself a whole day to the project in case I have to change back. My son has me second guessing myself when I told him the carb almost fell and I caught it sideways....he told me it was as good as a paper weight now.........

    hmm doug has flipped the carb while doing a rebuild... and it didn't hurt the carb... i think the problem is that if you flip the carb with the top hat in-place then the float vlave gets stuck open and the float bowl floods which causes fuel to just drizzles out into the engine.
