Do not try to set the float level by bending the float! It is set bychanging the thickness of the seat gasket so as to get a 13/32" below theparting surface of the carb.Cy Galley, TC - Chair, Emergency Aircraft Repair, OshkoshEditor, EAA Safety Programscgalley(at)qcbc.org or experimenter(at)eaa.orgAlways looking for articles for the Experimenter----- Original Message -----

Cy,Had done my A-65 over before I started the Piet. It sat till about a monthago when I ran it. Ran kind of sloppy and rich. My mentor checked it outand the rear cyl.s had real bad valves. I had lapped them in thinking thatthat was it, during my rebuild, but it turns out that they leaked like aseive. After pulling the cyl's off my mentor was good enough to redo theseats and the valves, so that's not a problem anymore. But still got thecarb problem. When idling, I can run the idle screw all the way in (whereit runs the best) but it still won't kill the engine( at 550 rpm) which theysay it should do. It's got to be getting gas from somewhere else, but Ican't figure it out. Should have bought the Stromberg manual for $15.00,but I didn't. figured someone might have it in their computer.walt----- Original Message -----

Cy,Yeah, thanks, that I knew. Well actually my Ap (mentor) had set that all upbefore I got it. And after I had the problem I rechecked it with the 19" ofgas head and the measurement to the top of the bowl. and it all came outgood. I have the brown manual for the A-65 rebuild. They do have a goodsection on the carb, but it's all in text. I just figured that theStromberg rebuild book had some better stuff in it.walt----- Original Message -----

Who's "they"? You may have a damaged needle valve or seat. The adjustingneedle should not be bottomed as you will damage the needle which can bereplaced or the seat which is part of the carb body and can't be replaced.Now can you get the engine to idle? If so what is the problem? Check thefloat level with the page I just sent to IF you can't get it to idle. Mymanual says that the idle circuit only works up to "approximately 900 to1000 RPM."My large manual says that if it still idles too rich to first check theprimer.Your idle may be too fast as the C series manual says 475 to 525 but thiswould be after break in. The butterfly throttle should be mid-way betweenthe two idle ports.The float level needle only needs replacing if the carb drips a lot of gasafter being shut down. Even if you replace this needle, some complain thatit still drips. It is recommended to replace the rubber tipped needle thelater model delrin needle. If you go with the delrin needle you have tore-weight the float per ACSB-84 which you can find a copy in the Univaircatalog.I have sent this on to Glen Jeffries who has forgotten more than I'll everknow about small Continentals.----- Original Message -----
