He ran the gas station in SO CA that I was working at.
It was my first carb. to take apart and dip it in carb cleaner that he bought and I put back together, I didn't see the check ball fall out and couldn't tell were the new one in the kit was suppose to go so I left it out realcrazy
He ended up taking it to a local professional shop that fixed it for him. I ask that guy later what was wrong with it and what it took to fix it but he wouldn't tell me rant
That was along time ago, good luck on fixing all the issues you may have up wrench up


You know you're good when you end up with extra parts! Lol.
I wonder why the mechanic wouldn't tell you what you did wrong? That's how people learn!
I'm sure this sucker will be up and running soon.
I expect I'll have to continuously work on my van though until every component is rebuilt or replaced.
I should've done this a long time ago with the carb but it always ran well enough for me to disregard it...
I'll keep posting my progress! Thanks.
