Zenith carb (10514) on the super A always dripped a lot of gas when I got it.
Old floats were punctured - installed new ones, set to what I believe the right height is - 1 5/32 - drips as much gas as it used it, if not more.
Tried lowering them a bit - still drips
a bit more - the same.
A bit more - stops dripping, but they stick to the sides some how and won"t open to let gas in.
I"m all over the map with them now - doing the foolish try-and-see approach - over and over again. Something"s going to snap (maybe me).
The valve DOES seal - I can lift the floats manually and they do stop the flow, so I know that"s good.
Does anybody have the CORRECT measurement for this carb - or is 1 5/32 correct??? I"ve tried the archives but all I could find was "don"t trust the IT manuals on this measurement"!!
Also - looking down at the floats - I"m ASSUMING they should be symmetrical - but mine has one soldered way off to one side... (foolishly threw the old ones out before I could double check).
