What a great forum. Have read all info on carbs. How can such a simple mechanical devise cause so much profanity in my garage. Floats set 26.5mm, needle lowered (clip on the top groove) since I installed a new Keystar float rebuild kit which had larger jets (130 I think), carb immaculately cleaned, carb not overtightened and still it runs rich when I can get it started. After months of restoration this small devise has me stymied. Reading the forum, it seems like this may be a common problem for a lot of us. I need help. Thanks.
Oh, and BTW all electronics, timing and gaps set to spec.

Probably not much help here, but I just took a look at 4 different carbs and they all had 120 main jets. Did you use a new jet needle?
