I noticed that the vapor vent was not gapped the 1/16 that the book shows. I corrected the gap. I still need to make final adjustments and see how it goes.
For now I will stay with the old WCFB.
Thanks for your honest input.

Just a thought.... If there is any buildup / corrosion on the side wall of the chamber where the piston slides up and down it will eventually cause excessive wear to the rubber plunger and you will find it doesn't squirt the fuel.
