Last year my 89 Wing was running well but was leaking gas from the carb. It was the seals around the bottom cover. So I thought, now's the time to rebuild. So I did.
I reset the idle screws or so I thought to the setting where it was before I did the rebuild. Turns out at least 1 was not right and since one had no O ring on it I put it back to as it was.
However the engine ran but with a lot of heavy knocking. So I thought it was an air leak. I tried the toothpick fix which sort of helped but not really. So over the winter it sat. Now I'm trying to bring it back to life.
I dropped the covers off and filed off the idle jet limiters that only let you go 7/8 of a turn from the covers. I also put the O ring and washers back on the idle adjust screws. Question 1: Will those screws fall out or slip?
I searched the web for any rebuild advice to see if I missed anything. I saw that some carbs have a bridge cover over some of the jets or tubes in the fuel reservoir in one of the videos.
My question #2 is: does this carb look right for an 89? It had no bridge piece in side.
Thank you in advance for any insights you send my way.
- Does this look right?
