check to make sure the rods and plunger are not sticking in the bores

after cleaning them in cleaners the alum get very dry

I use a little 3in1 oil on the plugers and make sure they move smooth in the bore up and down

you can pop them right out and back in

did you saok the carb or just spray it out?

its best to soak them in a good cleaner,I had the same stuff a couple yrs ago on the eddy and Q-jet

took a good 20 min soak and 150 psi blowdry to clean all the small passages
