So I drilled two new holes 25 thou diameter and opened up the lower hole to 1/32nd as advised on pulling tractor site. Immediately the difference was clear. Ticking over smoothly and instant response to opening the throttle. I can adjust the fast jet too as I said so it seems I've made a big step forward. Next job is to make a new tapered tip from brass for the damaged needle and graft it on to see if I can rescue it. As I said before I follow advice from that site religiously and it has always paid off. Lots to learn from reading carefully through it. It is just too bad that he seems to be so unreliable when it comes to doing business. I am glad things are working out for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
