Needle and Seat

While I have him on the phone, I will also ask him about the seats and the gaskets. The packaging says to use 3 of the little gaskets for a Carter carb. Not sure what is in there now is original or correct, but 3 of the new ones are definitely thicker than the existing one. Here's a pic of them side by side. 2 of them would be closer to what is there now, but I don't know if what is there now is correct.

I am assuming it would make a big difference and there would be a different needle displacement for the same float level.


Last question for tonight: how tight do you torque all the screws, jets, seats etc? I know most are brass and therefore soft. But many of these were barely snug. I am planning on getting them good and snug, but not overdo it to deform the brass heads/slots etc.

thanks for listening..
