Thank you, Scott, for sharing with the rest of us the thoughtful reply you
received from TA Terry, who apparently pressed the "Reply" button accidentally,
instead of pressing "Reply to All" button.
Those autox.team folks who administer the list mechanism have (to the
regret of many) have set it up so that the Reply button addresses a reply only
to the sender, and not to the rest of the list. The default return should go
to the list itself. As it is, the only two ways to reply to the whole group of
us is to hit the Reply-to-You-All button (and then delete the originators
address from the "To" box, to eliminate the redundancy for him), or to type
manually into the address field the address of the list, MG-T@Autox.Team.Net.
Those of us who feast with relish upon the many morsels so generously
shared by the kind-hearted ilk of TA Terry dearly appreciate responses the
actually reach the rest of us.

Hi Terry,
Problem is the pin does not go through the carb body. It is inaccessible when
the carb is fully assembled, nor is there a slot or hole for it to go in so it
can fit flush.
Perhaps the piston is mis-matched with the carb body and I have one that is
supposed to be used with a carb that has an external pin to check the mixture?
My thought/worry is that since it does not fit flush I'll have use the mixture
to compensate for it as it'll want to run lean?
Thanks,
Scott
