Thanks, I finally got one off, Man, It was like it was glued on, and you ain`t kidden about getting gasket materal off. I sprayed with WD, maybe that will soften it up, and try later. Im thinking dremel with nylon bristle brush, but I`m out, restock time! Curious with float, It only lifted 1/8" off floor of bowl until seating, Normal? or could I of bent tab, by wacking with malet? Bowl looked spotless inside, Worth taking secondary bowl off? Should I change pump diaghrams? Seen no #`s on jets but have`nt removed them, I thought they have small #`s on them. Would like to try to tune to my 69 340. Any thoughts of this carb being too much for my combo? Dont want to spend a bunch of money, cause its a loaner with option to buy, from brother. Any good ballpark figures on jet sizes? Thoughts on blocking secondary pump? and how is this done, A cap? This carb is a socalled HP modified from unknown source, Milled horn, and nice looking squirters. any guidence would be apreciated. I know I`ll have to spring for gaskets, but I have access, to kit with jets and cams. All ears:-D
