      Geer,

      Unfortunately, the 10 horse won’t be ready for Quincy. The low speed needle/bushing issue has me held up. Maybe someone at the meet will have a needle/bushing combo that I can acquire to finish the rebuild. Other than that, the carb is ready to remount.

          Geer,

          Steve Wood was at Quincy and he applied mild ball peen pressure a couple dozen times and the parts miraculously separated. I hadn’t thought about tapping it while spinning it and was beginning to think I was gonna have to use a hacksaw to split the bushing off to spare the needle. I’ll reassemble and see if it fires one day this week.
