One common thing that causes trouble is having too many gaskets between the main jet and the body. People try to overhaul a carburetor and fail to remove the old gasket.

Thank you for the wonderful site. I'm new to Model As and am trying to 'learn as I go'. I feel like I've got a hundred stupid questions every day and hate asking them...this is a great place to start learning without bothering all of the experts running around here!

Thanks again and looking forward to more information!

There are no stupid questions. The only thing stupid is not asking the question.

Superbly done! Great animations as well. Very clear and concise.
My only suggestion - get rid of the fancy script font in your labeling. It makes it harder to read, and especially older gents with poor eyesight to begin with. You did a great job though. Way beyond anything I could ever do.

Now that the cool factor for me. Fonts like those that were used on the old patent drawings, along with the modern animation by computer. Sort of Steampunk
