    Well gang.
    I have spent some serious time on this bike's carbs now. I thought i had the float with the broken post #2 (from left side) adjusted. after reading the carb rebuild post again (Thanks Rick) I was able to get all the Idle jets out and clean those. put it all back together and Started right up! Enrichener on. then when it started to Idle too fast i shut off enrichener and it seemed to Idle good tell after a bit. then it slows down and stalls out.
    Now when bike is warm it will not Idle, it Hickups and dies.!!!
    someone on Ebay has a #3 carb body for sale but it looks like the overflow drains are differant. I know I can change around linkage but Overflow passages? not to sure.
    Anyone have a 85700WetHead carb body??
    please PM me and we can work out the details
    Thanks,
    Larry B
