[QUOTE="Stringer, post: 176333, member: 2086"] ?ok thanks a lot guys for the replies! I will order some boots today for sure. I remember seeing new fly maverik's for under 100 shipped. I will probably go that route. at this point im left wondering if I should continue to find out why im pouring all this gas into the cylinder, or start tearing open the engine (which does sound a bit extreme at this point but I don't know). Again, the engine does have new gaskets all over, even oil filler plug is new. Waterpump cover and gaskets also new. Looks like a lot of work was recently done in there. If I may revisit the carb again briefly. I set float height exactly per manual instructions using digital calipers to 16mm. The float valve set looked to be in perfect condition. Is the float valve supposed to fully close under it's own weight? Seems kind of weak. Any way to test the integrity of the float valve system? Again, parts look new, but I was concerned float valve needle possibly excessively weak as it fully compresses easily under the weight of the float alone. Is this normal?? :cripple: [/QUOTE]
