Hello Bob, since we are on the subject of carburetors, I have seen your comments about the secondary well and how it may be restricting flow from the Compensator Jet. I have been rebuilding carbs for my club and would like to know what the symptom would be if there is a problem? I have a bunch of Secondary Wells and they all appear to be the same. The other day I took an awl and in going through the open Compensator Jet, I scratched the side of the well. I was amazed at how high up the scratch is and it is in the large diameter section of the well. I believe you are correct that it is possible to have a restriction through the Compensator Jet. I was thinking of grinding a slot down the side of the Secondary Well to the entrance hole at the bottom. Does this sound like a good idea? Sorry to be so windy, Ed
