Re: WGD carburator with a mind of its own

Thanx for al the information, i havnt removed the throttle plates when i rebuild the carb, just gave it all a good cleaning, and the float level was set as shown in the manual, even the needle and seat are renewed, so i would go for the vacuum then. When i set the choke valve spring to the specifications, by turning it clockwise to the arrow, the choke valve is very tight, i have to push it open with my finger in order to fire up the engine, but from the amount of pressure u have to use to open the valve, i would say u need alot of vacuum to get that done. when u release the valve it shuts and the engine stops. thats why i have now set the valve very loose till the valve is half open from the start. seem to work for now, but still uses too much fuel.
