Good price or bad price? http://www.mgcycle.com/index.php?mai...oducts_id=1335 Do you have a choice? Tim has a way of finding good deals. .... Well I try. I couldn't find anything else out there. And when you consider parts for a rare and ancient Italian carburetor, then that's not bad. But are you sure you need them? 2 stroke or 4? Moto Guzzi - 4 stroke. Heavy float or worn or stuck needle and seat is all I can think of. I'll have to take the carb off and check it out. Once it warms up enough to make the garage comfortable, I'll do that. Tomorrow looks like it should be nice. If this uses a plastic foam float it may be saturated with gas. The only way to tell is to float it in gas or step on it. I had that problem on a Rochester carb in my Corvette. Nah, it's metal.Had it out a few years back when I rebuilt the carbs. |

I have not seen a metal float in 40 years |

Actually I realized that was in error. Last carb, and I need a new one is on my weed eater where the alcohol in the fuel, broke down the tank filter, and crude up the carb. |
