I’m going to revive this thread instead of creating a new one. Now that I have a bunch of time on my hands I thought I would go through the carb and make sure everything is clean and the way it should be.

In the video above it looks like the engine is idling at 1200 rpm. Sometimes the needle will stick and not drop below that number. If I tap on the gauge it will usually drop to where it should be. I didn’t really notice it when I made the video. I was more focused on the vacuum reading.

I took some pictures of the disassembled carb. Maybe you guys can help me figure out if something is not quite right. I might look at buying some replacement metering blocks and was wondering if my base plate would support 4 corner idle.

I have the throttle blades set so that the transfer slot looks “square”. Is this where I should have them?
