Ok. I also have another issue that is fuel related. There is all kinds of junk in the fuel inlet in the body. After I put the correct carb back on, I noticed it was leaking a little bit. I went to tighten it and it seemed that the big 1” fitting was loose. I removed the fitting altogether ant there was all this ‘grit’ in the inlet and on the little bronze filter. Almost seems like the threads were ground up. I wiped my finger in the inlet and pulled out even more of it. I don’t think this was what caused the rough idle because when I swapped carbs last night, it still ran rough.
I think the fuel inlet needs a helicoil repair.
You can see some of the grit in this photo:
Here it is after I wiped the inlet threads with my finger:
I’m assuming I should no try to do anything until this gets repaired. Do I have to send this out to someone like Cliff Ruffles?
