b40rt Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Have you compared the old and new side by side ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauls320 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Does the replacement have sufficient thread length? The oem blue thread compound often gums up the internal threads in the carb body, might want to chase hole with the correct tap...carefully to not allow debris into carb/engine.

austin6728 Posted March 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Just compared the idle screws and and they have different thread lengths the aftermarket DAB on being shorter therefore with the spring on it wont screw far enough in to the carb so the option is to shorten the spring or go back to the original screw Thanks for the input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
