While trying to adjust the mixture on my H4 carbs, fuel started dripping from
the jet adjusting nut. I assume the cork sealing ring is shot (again). These
were just replaced a few months ago. Is there an alternative to these cork
rings, or some other way to prolong their lives?
Also, it seemed that I could never get the mixture rich enough by turning the
adjusting nut. The engine would always slow down when I lifted up on the
piston. The only way I could get it correct is by using the choke arm to pull
the jet downward. The Haynes manual states that the jet adjusting nut should
be turned counter-clockwise (when looking down at the carburetor) to increase
the richness of the mixture. Is this correct? It didn't seem to do a thing
for me.
Thanks,
