My experience is that there is very little carb help on this list - for good reason. I do run a Weber DFEV on my 91 and I have R&Red it a few times and the Solex carb I had previously. I'd try a couple of cans of carb cleaner all through the dis-assembled carb. I assume that one can tell if there is a leak in the float - just take the float out and check for sloshing (?) or look for a rub on the side/front/back of the float. I'd guess a stuck float valve and carb cleaner will take care of that. m2cw Malcolm --- Paul Wies <Simplstupd@AOL.COM> wrote: > Question: if float does not have a hole in it am I > safe to just clean it or > should I definitely replace it?
