so i installed the road race floats i purchased from braswell today. buy the float, and they include 2 screws, the pin, and spring. they discombobulated my order so they sent me a set of free gaskets with the second one. very nice of them.

did notice the carb has 5 emulsion bleeds, with 4 of them drilled. i have seen 2, and 3, but never 4. also the dry break (?) at the top of the emulsion well was not what i expected to see.

another thing i did notice, i was letting the engine warm up so i could adjust the idle a/f ratio and had it adjusted so i was going to put it in the car hole and dropped the hood with out the air cleaner installed. the engine made a dive for low idle and sounded like it was going to die. i thought maybe something had dropped into the carb so i picked the hood up and the engine picked back up!

so i surmised that with the hood down and nothing to direct the air that the blowing fan was disturbing the air over the top of the carb, or the hot air was effecting it, but it was cool out and i don't think the hot air would have that much of an effect. which led me to wonder how many guys with individual runner setups not running air cleaners run into tuning problems.....

anyway, put the air cleaner back on and no effect, then dropped the hood and no effect again. very interesting.
