Stop in for a cup of coffee

Forgot it maybe? And no I don't have one. I'm pretty poor on carburetor stuff these days. The reason it needs it is because that metering plate that's shaped the same way has to have something as a "back up" to seal against. If it was just the gasket itself, it would leak. If that makes sense.

Yes. That makes sense. It starts right up and runs well now. Got rid of the excessive fuel smell with the rebuild and a good cleaning.

Given the condition of the diaphragm I don't think the secondaries were functioning much if at all.
