Before I go spending more money I wanted to check with you all.  When I thought my engine was ’61, I ordered a new nozzle for the carb because a little piece of the brass was deformed and chipped when I was taking the old one apart.  The ’61 nozzle is a different part number and is about 1/4″ shorter than the 1962.

I had the engine running in a barrel yesterday.  I was able to find a sweet spot just before it got too lean and got it to idle for a long time.  It was a little wobbly/rough at the lowest idle.

I still get a little fuel dripping from the front of the carb.  Not much but a drip every now and then.  It was worse before but I reset the float and cleaned it out again.

Could a shorter nozzle also contribute to this?  Should I put to old one in even if the slot is deformed and damaged?
