I rebuilt my carb over the weekend. It's a Solex 30-PICT 3. It's running ... okay. But still a little chuggy - and when I am running high in gear (just before I would switch) it gurgles a little bit like it's hungry.
One thing I noticed is that it's not quite as springy as before. That is, when I grab the fast idle and pull back on it, there is a rather limp reaction - where I seem to remember the while thing shooting down before.
Perhaps though, I am silly for thinking my spring action is not so good when it's a nice warm spring day here. I guess most (if not all) of the spring action would come from the automatic choke on the other side. The automatic choke is set "on the mark". Meaning, when I reassembled, I lined it up in it's correct position (I live in Ohio, where it goes from warm to cold in a matter of seconds - so I will let it do it's job).
Perhaps I am just paranoid, but it just don't seem right. I may just need to run through the two-screw adjustment again to get things going right.
One more thing - upon reassembly I couldn't remember where a particular washer went. It goes somewhere in the assembly with the geared teeth on it which catch the fast idle. Not sure what you call this piece. In this blowup, it's #1 and #2 ...
