Hi Bandit127,
Thanks for the recommended tips. I should be able to fire up the beast within the next few days to see if I have made any progress.
I'm going to pay close attention to the pilot air screw now that I know how it works. Thanks for that.
My boots are new and sealed well so no issue there. I've given the carb a good going over but couldn't remove the pilot as I didn't have the correct screwdriver and didn't want to strip it out. It's been in there for 25years!
I'll see if I can track down a float needle assembly but I seem to recall it was discontinued when I last checked. Mine is less than perfect for sure.
I'll check the float height tomorrow as you describe.
Did you happen to gander at the manual where it discusses setting the height of the primary throttle valve? I don't think my 43F has the adjusters they are talking about......bit of a mystery.
Still trying to figure out if there is a way to test the function of the vaccum controlled (secondary) throttle valve?
Thanks again for your helpful tips.
Pawlie
