OK, Got out of school early today and you can't remove the primary bowl without...well I take that back. I didn't realize that you can get the primary bowl off if you just loosen the carb and lift it up a bit, as the accelerator pump arm sits in a groove in the Kirkham pan. I learned this after a bunch of extra work. Oh well.

So here are 2 photos of the bowl, its float (which looks low to me, but did have a "trickle" from the sight hole with the e-pump on), the PV and it's gasket and the metering block with its gaskets as I had it mounted. In the photos, the new PV gasket looks like it's been damaged, but it's fine and new as well. The photo lies. The PV was pretty snug. I'm sending the other 2 photos in a separate post.

thanx steve
