eyeball the squirt & see if it appears to be of adequate duration with IMMEDIATE tip in. This is with it warmed up so it's not a choke issue correct? float level correct & initial in the ballpark? Any lean stumble issues anywhere else? Reportedly 1405's are jetted on the rich side. Yes the nozzles are interchangeable




Right- this is completely warmed up- my choke is currently wired open so that's not coming into play, either. I had rebuilt/cleaned the carb out about a year ago and had checked the float level/drop and blew out the passageways with carb cleaner. It idles fine at 800rpm- I tried to get it to idle at 750 and it fights me on that though. And yes those 1405s are jetted rich- I had to rejet this down 2 jet sizes on primary/secondaries (and switched metering rods, too) and while the plugs aren't black anymore, I still think it's running a bit on the rich side. I haven't checked the pump stream so I'll do so to make sure there's no delay in the stream.
