Cyborg, that sounds about right, I do remember a SMALL hole in the carb float though POSSIBLY. I think I may just replace the whole thing, for the right price. If they they make a rebuild kit, with a replacement float would be nice too.

The enrichner is stuck wide open,,, may be a bimbo problem also like I had on my et4. The vacuum petcock is also sticking open,,, bad problem with these

I've heard this SO FAR:
Reed Valve - Fuel Valve(Diaphragm on bottom of tank) - Carb Float
Is there any reason I should check the Reed? If you do not think it will help I will leave it alone, as I have NEVER Cleaned/Repaired/Messed With(lol) one.
I would like to find a decent replacement Carb, that is comparative to the stock as much as possible, but with a 30-40 dollar price tag!

JFYI The problem sometimes with the smaller carbs one of the needles isn't adjustable either. One has to take that into consideration . If you can tolerate a manual choke those type of carbs blah-!may be an option as well.
