[AT] 430V update

[Gunnells, Brad R]

Yeah that's a nice feeling when everthing comes apart without stripping or breaking something.


What is the lemon juice boil? I've never heard of that trick.

The carb rebuild has started.   I was clearly right in that somebody has been in the carburetor recently. There's a rebuild kit in it, but a couple of important components were not replaced. The throttle bushing was old and probably was a little looser than I had thought. One jet was not seated all of the way, and the float clearly is not adjusted correctly.  Also the water leak that froze the cylinder also put some water in the carburetor.  So there was some rust in two passages, partially clogging  them.

I may have to do a lemon juice boil for the rust.   It was reasonably localized and minor so we'll see after I soak it and hand twist a drill bit in the passages.   I fortunately have drill bits the exact correct size.

PS. All the jets (and all the parts for that matter)came out easily.  A first for me. (-;
