I've just replaced the block and pistons on the Ruby engine. Over the winter I also rebuilt another 26VA carb. The old one performed very well but the spindle was badly worn and the idle was a little high.
All back together and initial runs around the block have been successful /uneventful. It idles smoothly and pulls well but on the flat it hunts as if the mixture is too rich. The jets are 50 and 57. I've swapped the jets for the old ones (same sizes) but it makes no difference.
Are there any other factors that would cause it to run rich? or am I barking up the wrong tree and it's just tight after the rebuild?
