[T3] carb problem solved

<x-flowed>Hi Folks

Well, I took your advice, cleaned the original parts very carefully 
and re-used the valve that controls flow of fuel into the bowl. It 
works, problem solved. When I looked closely at the original valve 
and the replacement I could see about a 2 mm difference in height of 
the shoulder of the valve - that is, the new valve was thinner than 
the original. This was enough to prevent the valve from controlling 
fuel flow. I sure am gald that I kept the original parts.

And now the engine runs GREAT!! This is soooooo cool!!

of course, there is leakage around the throttle shaft. I guess I'll 
have to see if I can find a machine shop to make new bushings ...

Dave
