Answers; Al, No I blew them out with 100lbs of compressed air from both ends. They were all clear.

Mitch, I don't have an inline spark tester. I have never seen one. I am thinking of pulling the carb apart again and paying particular attention to the GAV valve/jet

Ray,I thought that might be the case a year ago so I raised it a small amount to no avail. It's now level with the top of the carb.

T-bird, I've been think of that since I have the old A carb. Maybe I'll try that this afternoon.

Bettlesr, It did have the large flat bronze spring on the float, but I removed it last year.

Fiddly, I checked that about three weeks ago when I started having problems with the old engine. Trouble is, everything looks oK, Fat blue spark, good gas flow etc. but she don't run too good, strong surges then it breaks up, and the constant intermittent miss.
