Re: carb troubles on an 8BA
38V8-Ross- Ken- Thanks for the information and advice. I went out this am and decided things would go better with the carb on the bench. Five minutes, it was off. Removed the top of the carb and drained the float bowl. I could see a couple of particles and a small amount of grey silt. Removed grit with Q-tip and flushed with gas. Removed the two jets, one clear and one pretty well plugged. Used the broom straw as advised and washed all parts in solvent. Blow dry with canned air. Re-assemble and re-install. Fired right up and I let run for a few minutes. No leaks! Once warm, I began working the throttle linkage. Stumble is gone. Took it out for a drive and all is well. Thanks so much! I did spend some time last night with the MoTors manual, getting familiar with parts and that helped too. Now I am going to replace the hardline to carb with a flexible one with filter and drive it. You guys are great, if you ever need Banjo advice-pm me.

Re: carb troubles on an 8BA
Success stories are always welcome! Thanks for the update!
...And I'll take this opportunity to disagree with you regarding how cold Pacifica is. I'll take a guess here that Livermore (me) has weather more like what poeple think of as California weather, while Pacifica weather is windbreaker weather in its hottest day of summer! Am I right? Still, I love Pacifica, you have a beautiful place to live, and a cool day in the summertime is an added pleasure!
