So the right carb was leaking, big time. Order new float valve and adjusted float per the book.
Still leaking. Adjusted float some more. Got leak stopped. But...no gas getting to right cylinder.

Called my master carburetor mechanic who had a super idea. Why not take the bowl off the other
carburetor and measure how the float is hanging. Big difference. Adjusted right float to match left
float geometry, reassembled everything, and voila - no leak and both cylinders firing.

Thanks Tim!

Of course Harry will have a negative comment, but that's to be expected.

So glad it all worked for the good. Like I said the delorto cards are so simple but finicky. I’d rather work on a delorto than set the injection pumps on imaginary twin Volvo turbo diesels any day.

It's so difficult to find the right imaginary tools for working on an
imaginary boat. And then there's the question of metric vs SAE which
is quite difficult as you might imagine. Something will always come
up to throw a left handed monkey wrench into the works, imagine that.
I am sure Harry just has an imaginary, factory trained, union mechanic
flying in from Sweden to check the oil on his twin Volvo diesels.

You have to do that sort of imaginary maintenance if you want to sell
the boat for more than you paid for it. How else to make an imaginary
profit?


He's a liar feeding his narcissism. No one can have anything better
than him. His political rants follow a similar path. Fat Harry can't
debate - he loses and goes silent or posts a lame diversion.
