Gotta learn when to gorilla grip and when to finesse things still I guess.
Thank you for the advice John, looking forward to getting the kit!
Now I'm thinking that little rod (it's located in the center of the bottom half of the carb, I know probably a bad explanation) that I thought was...
Yes, I probably forced that one in a bit too much. I believe the accelerator pump was an exact match when I rebuilt it a few years ago. I make my...
Ok, I appreciate the info. Hopefully I did blow it out. I rebuilt the carb years ago and never had this problem, so I'm thinking a few months ago...
Thank you, Mark...I'm going to get a kit and a new idle screw. I think I'll take it apart now and start looking while I'm waiting for the kit....
I thought where could that tip have gone??? Sucked up into the motor? When I disassembled and cleaned the carb I didn't see it or any blocked...
Ok, thank you...I will contact him.
Ok, I'll get a new mixture screw and confirm the check ball is there. I remember a check ball fell out when I was cleaning the carb, but that was...
True greybeard360, can you recommend a rebuild kit?

Man, thank you guys for all the replies! Yes, it's a Rochester 4Jet RP. Ok, I was thinking I'll have to take the carb apart and look at the...
Ok, thank you for the responses I will get some better pics after work.
BB? check (ball) valve? There's one in the acc. pump and one in or under the primary (I think it's kept in place by a little metal rod)?
Yes they are...I can't seem to get it right...I do have a service manual.
Anthony- Thank you. Nice hat :) Ok, the mechanical fuel pump is working/pumping fuel up to the carb, but I have not tested the pressure. I am...
Saltflats- Thank you for the quick reply and checking me on that...Rochester 4 Jet RP then? So if the float level is off (not low enough it will...
