By moving the clip you mean bending the wire that goes over the arm on the float correct? Whats that metal piece that bolts under the float and extends into the bowl?

Is there a way to access the mag and adjust it or is it all fixed timing?

I should mention that I am getting some backfiring out the exhaust, and an occational pop out the carb.

 

No, the needle clip. The metering rod clip. Its in the slide.

Timing is fixed.

 

This is what it should look like when the piston is at TDC on the compression stroke:

 

These are needles:

 

Nice pic Randy, I'll throw that up on the site.

 

Check the website in my signature, there's a wiring diagram under the parts diagrams section.

And welcome!

 

Yep thats what mine looks like. I'll try the plug, and see about adjusting the metering rod. Does it just push/pull in or out farther?

 

push/pull?

 

That old camera will accidently take a decent pic every now n then.

 

The clip holds the needle in place? Do you just push or pull on the clip to move the needle higher or lower?
