and once again 2 carb screws have escaped!!! they have sodding nylock on them how do they keep escaping???
think i might drill the holes out tomorrow and put some tiny bolts through them!!!
going to have to upgrade to fuel injection so I don't have to keep replacing the screws

lol well if i ever find them you can have them back! i'm actually tempted to retap the carb body so i can use a regular bolt to hold the dashpot on!!!
