Thanks Dick,
I was hoping you might take a look today, I know you don't typically check
over the weekends (although I was really hoping you would have the cure all
also ;) I guess, I will just have to wait and see what others have to say.
I have removed the carb about five times now since this started, trying
various things each time to no avail. I've now got the float set at 17mm and
it's still leaking.
I was reading one of your old posts and noticed you mentioned a 20mm
setting. I've tried that and couldn't get it to start.
What I would pay for a good mechanic to turn this problem over to. The local
group over here hasn't come up with any suggestions yet.
Aloha,
Mark - great whether with no where to go :(
