or fully cover the air inlet to assist in getting fuel to the engine.
Is that a good idea?


Wanna bet the inside of the float carb looks like it's coated in shellac
from the evaporating fuel left in it? Running it until it stalls only gets
part of the gas out of the float bowl. The rest turned to shellac and
clogged the jets so it runs way too lean.

Government bureaucrats and Greenies made this worse by demanding
manufacturers limit how far you can screw the jets in and out...as if that
made any difference in the pollution of the planet from jet aircraft and
power plants and solar wind. So, you can't unscrew the main jet any more
until it melts the shellac away like you "ustacould way back". The main
jet isn't even adjustable and the idle jet only turns half a turn.....how
stupid.....
