Well I talked to Billy & James about my carb.loading up after I shut off the engine. Both said check the float.
So today I pulled the top of the carb.off, the float was floating right where it should be. I removed the new fuel flow needle that the float rises up against to shut the flow of fuel off.
I held it next to the old one.....an guess what, the needle is longer on the new one. So I don't think the flout was rising high enough to shut the flow of fuel off to the bowl. I put the old one back in, put the top of the carb. back on. Guess what....it doesn't load up any more. I love it when I figure sh*t out....and it works.

I also adjusted the rear brakes again!
Should there be any play in the axle bearings?
