Run Ivy Run: Carb and Petock


Drained the carb using the new 3d printed gas catch.  A few drips coming out of the corner even though it seemed watertight in the bathroom test.

Pulled the carb (left throttle and fuel line attached) and discovered that the valve seat was just loose!  Tightened with an 8mm socket and job done!  Tested the float to make sure it was stopping the flow and then reinstalled.

Installed the petcock which was fiddly because it literally bumped up against the air box.  Used a 6x30 screw even though the stock takes a 6x16.  Poured in enough gas to confirm that the reserve and off were working.

Ran the engine and then added 2 funnels worth of oil.
