[AJD] JD 40 Carb

[Bruce Mahr]

LeRoy: You should be able to hear the float when you quickly turn the carb. 
upside down and then right side up after it is assembled. If you don't hear 
it moving, it's being held down by something inside the carb. during 
assembly. You should also be able to blow air with your mouth through the 
gas inlet when held in the upright position, and not with the carb. 
upside-down.
A hose barb is a fitting with pipe thread on one end and a barb for a hose 
on the other.
