Can anyone help with a diagram of this older carby ? 1946 8B 3917 979CA
The symptoms say I have too much fuel coming in. Can only start with throttle off , wet oily plugs , half cap full of fuel out of drain cocks on each pull. Pull after pull with no ignition. Magneto is giving plenty of good spark.
I opened the carby to find the jet has snapped. See on second pic it sits in the dark hole. I take it this controls the amount of flowing from the float chamber into the body. I assume screwing it down blocks flow, but then it has pin hole a few mm up it shaft to give minimal flow regardless. Having said that it was sitting in position and should of restricted flow ?
I need to buy that screw jet and a new top gasket - any advice on supplier that does postal.
Is that called a soft plug under the float chamber ? ( see last pic ) How do I remove that to make sure that passage is free of crud ?
Cheers - David
