Rough Idle
#31
You guys might not believe this, but in 1969 a friend of mine and his dad bought the $5 kit and rebuilt a four barrel Chevy carburetor. We bought the special gunk to dip all the metal parts in and replaced what seemed like about 200 little tiny parts. And that car ran like a **** after that. Now I'm lucky if I can find one of my 15 Phillips screwdrivers.

I don't like working on carbs.
When I was dating my EX her father was working on the carb. I asked if I could help and he told me to bolt it back onto the intake. There were only 3 nuts so I asked him where the 4th one was. He didn't know and he tried to start the car. It was down the intake and the engine sucked it in and cracked the cylinder wall. I ended up doing a motor swap.
Last weekend my snowblower was spewing gas and I had to pull the carb apart. I dropped the float pin. I did not know where it went so I lifted the blower up and turned it like a puzzle and the pin dropped out of the intake. It is a 10 H.P. with iron cylinder (heavy). I figured that the pin was sitting up in the intake valve as I flip the machines when work on them.
