[QUOTE="thill, post: 494544, member: 4972"] If I recall correctly, the float is the often the biggest issue. You have to bend the tab exactly right so it gets fuel, but still closes properly. And it's cork, so it gets a little oil soaked, and then no amount of tweaking will get it to run well. If your kit comes with a new float, you should be all set, as long as you have the condenser and points clean and working properly. If the spark gets weak, the carb issues get magnified. Will look like flooding, but really it's just not burning the fuel properly. Do a spark gap test before making yourself too crazy or definitely if the carb kit doesn't seem to work. [/QUOTE]
