--- "I know this thread is getting old by now but let me tell you all what I did that makes BJ8 carb removal a (relative) breeze. I replace the 5/16" hex nuts (which require a 1/2" wrench) with 5/16-24 Jet Nuts from a Pegasus Racing catalog. These have a reduced hex (read 3/8" wrench) but the surface area is the same as the regular nut. Believe me, it's a zillion times easier to work with the smaller wrench. Just my 2-cents-worth...."

From: Bernard Johnsen

Alex -Was your problem a sticking float, or a needle valve that did not shut ? When my needle valve does not shut, I turn off my fuel pump (I have a switch in series with the pump) and run the engine until all the gas in the float bowls is used up. The floats are now at the bottomof the float chambers, and the needle valves are WIDE open. Turning the fuel pump back on causes an in rush of fuel, which usually blows any dirt off of the needle valve, and it will then work properly. This works for me, and it requires no disassembly of the float lid.- Bernie, 1967 BJ8

Arlene is surrounded by family and we all want to wish her well and to let her know she is in our hearts and prayers.

In the meantime, please remember Jim as we all knew him as a very outgoing friend who was always there for us when ever there was anything he could help us with. It is our turn now to help Arlene and to give her all the support we can.
