Well, 10 minutes into testing the Handtiwin needle and seat and the fuel level hasn’t increased at all! There’s another project out of the way. On my ’46 Sportwin with the same carb it’s a whole different story. I’ve got no idea how it ran so well with the float bowl overflowing constantly… It’s looking like there’s some deep pitting around the seat, is there any way to bore out the seat slightly to get back to good metal? Or should I just find another carb?
