Re: Carter 2bbl specs-- update
It's going to be the float level is too high. Does the needle valve
have a dampener spring on it that should be collapsed to read the true
measurement?

I was thinking the same thing, lowered the level several times but the only
thing that happened is that it started to run crappy and had a big hole @
acceleration
also it was still leaking so I putt it back to 0.25"
It doesn't have a damper spring, the lip of the float pushes directly to the
needle
