weber settings and backfire

Yes, the black dots polish off, something from production, possibly corrosion within the idle port after assembly.

The idle jet in an IDF is a separate piece to the idle jet holder like most Weber carbs.

The one idle jet came apart but the other 7 were intact. All but one of the screws did polish out. Along with the floats and a couple of other things it is still disappointing to get a "new" product with so many problems.

That's how the idle jet works, they pull apart with your fingers if you wish to change the idle jet.

Hi Gary
I understand that the jet is supposed to come apart, but one was apart in the carb. It would not stay together. I've had a really busy schedule here the last couple of weeks and will not have a chance to do any more follow up for a couple of weeks. And, even though I sent an email to both Top End and Red Line almost three weeks ago I have yet to hear back from them.

But the last time I took it for a cruise it ran really good. Tennis and son's wedding will occupy my time until the end of the month. Hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.
