    Smitty said that when you enlarge the bowl & it goes low enough for the float to call for fuel,it takes too much time for the feed to fill it & you go lean

      Is this the Smitty I met, Duffey?

      (Wrench to Hall o' Famers, and Chief Blackhawk club member....)

      I don't get how more capacity makes the float go lower,
      or how the refill lag would depend upon anything but the valve, which opens proportionally as the motor is consuming fuel.

      So the float valve isn't big enough for the bowl? The motor would like more, please.

          Flammable would have been worse, Badger!

          So apparently, the enlarged bowls worked somehow.

          (Meanwhile, I forgot that small-knob HS needle could have been robbed from an M53 series.)

          PS: Subtracting the average value of the Linkert hardware, the bowls must be worth four grand a piece.

            You could have put (sic) after it, Badger!

            Please don't tell me the prefix "in-" is now mutable.

            That would make it as pointless as a modern pronoun.

            The English language is soon doomed to obscurity.
