Make sure the floats close easily, they should have a little spring to them with the top turned upside down. I just rebuilt mine after a fire and it took three tries to get the needle valves seating right.

there are so many questions about carbs on here, that someone should really do a picture-ridden tutorial on how to rebuild one... I would,... except I have *no clue* how to rebuild a carb... I have one that desperately needs rebuilding, but unless someone within 2 hours of ottawa is willing to help me rebuild it, I can't exactly do a pic tutorial, though I'm thinking one would REALLY help right now
