Re: Low Fuel Economy - Running rich, not sure why
When I changed the oil last originally, there was a very strong smell of gas, so I'm fairly sure that there was gas in the oil. However, since then, the oil level has not increased (in fact I seem to be leaking oil slowly, I'll address that issue once I get past the gas thing). I was under the impression, because of the gravity feed, being left on PRIme would over flow no matter what, even with a good float. Back when I was first messing with it and figuring out what did what, I set it to PRIme and I watched gas come out of the filter, so it would seem the float wasn't stopping it then either.
The jets are all clear, I'll check the holders again this weekend, but everything else seemed really clean. The float needle seemed fine as well, so I'm guessing that the problem lies with the float itself as far as that's concerned. Feel free to correct me if any of this is wrong. I was planning on doing a more intensive dive into the carb this weekend to try to see if I can find anything broken, but I'm not sure if I'm just overlooking the issue or not.
