Nissan carb teardown questions.

Re: Nissan carb teardown questions.

Managed to find a brass hose barb tee today that I was able to thread and then tap the hole in the carb. Works great so far but that was only at idle in the driveway. At least I seem to have gotten the carbs back on the way they're supposed to be. Auto parts stores didn't have anything small enough. Found it at a specialty fluid fittings outfit. A 10-32 tap was a perfect fit for the hole in the carb so you can tell how small it is. Anyway, thanks for the help, hopefully the real test will be good tomorrow.

Well all that didn't help but my repair to the carb I broke did work. Took a three day weekend and went fishing anyway. Thanks to my ever-trusty 1979 Evinrude 6 horse I was able to troll all day every day with no problems. Why can't they all run like that. I think that little thing would push me all the way to Japan and back if I asked it too. So now I'm back but might not have time to do anything with the Nissan this week as I'm taking a 4 day weekend this time for more fishing. However, I will replace the plugs just to see what happens.
