Hi
My plugs always seem to be furry black even though the mixture screw is set on the lean side. (or at least the middle 4 plugs)
Bubba said that my float level may be too high so I'm wanting to at least take the top off the carb and check or replace the float needle.
Q1. I've never had one of these apart but assume that a needle plugs a hole in the top of the carb when the float reaches a certain level .. assume this is adjustable by screwing the needle up or down???? ..
Q2. I assume if I remove the top of my carb to adjust this, the 'big' gasket would break?
so at a minimum want to get my hands on one of those before I take it apart. I was thinking of getting a whole kit so that I, or someone who at least has a carb background, could replace a few parts...???
Q3. Another big question though - Are there different types of 1100?? .. There are some I've seen with a spark control valve on the side .. mine hasn't got this.
Is mine a particular model???.. or were 1100's all the same, just some with and some without the spark valve
(pic below of mine)
I have a 1965, 200ci with C4 Auto.
Would this kit be the right one, even though it has the (spark?) valve ?!?

..and finally .. Question 4... If I do take the top off am I in for a world of pain and be having things spring out of place or will it just drop back on with no problem??
THANKS LOADS!!!
