So I went home for the weekend and finished rebuilding my carb. Put the new floats in and threw it on the car. Started up and it ran like CRAP! Idled rough and was dumping fuel. I found that my new floats were different shape and didn't touch the needle valve the same. I adjusted the needle valves down and moved the idle screws in a half turn and now that thing just purrs like a kitten. Like a big mean badass kitten that wants to tear your face off!

Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

I let it idle for a bout 10 min and after there was no smoke, no smell of gas, and no neighbors yelling at me to turn that wretched ozone killing thing off. All in all, a great day!!
