Greetings. I am a jewelry who used my ultrasonic and steam generator to clean and inspect (10x magnification) a few old zenith carbs, pieces and parts to make two good units. The two run really well, new gaskets, i set the float but i did not perform a flow test for lack of equipment. Of the two carbs one has little power beyond 40mph, when i accelerate i hear the vacuum but just doesnt have the oomph. Might there be a chance that i do not have enough volume of fuel in the bowel? I shrived to adjust to 5/8" fuel level from the top however that took two gaskets to set the float needle to get the adjustment. No popping or backfires. So i dont believe its a rich flow issue. Any advice?
