Carb rebuild
Hi Guys:
I am trying to rebuild my edlebrock 1406 for the first time. I just wanted to change the jets and gaskets but I came across a problem/question. While I was removing the float to change the gaskect on the top end, the needle under one of the float dropped out. I found it, cleaned it and put it back. When I put the new gaskets and floats back, I noticed the other float doesn't have the needl either. I really don't think I dropped anything else, and I can't find any other needle. I looked at a rebuild kit that I have, That also has only one needle in it but when I look at the manual, the picture suggest each float should have a needle under each float. So, the question (finally!!) is: does each float has one needle?! if yes, why the rebuild kit just has one? Does these needle have different sizes or can I just use the one in the rebuild kit instead of the one which is missing? Sorry about the long story. Thanks
