I did notice that suggestion (drill bit) was in the shop manual, but I have not had a chance
to perform it. I was working on borrowing a vacuum pump to test the choke opener because
I think the diaphragm has a leak. I was also searching for a carb rebuild kit which contains the diaphragms
for the choke opener and the aux accelerator pump. The other day when I was inspecting/messing with the choke, I noticed that the flex boot on the AAP ws cracked and disintegrating. Any suggestions on carb rebuild kits to obtain these parts if necessary?
BTW, thanks you guys for all of your help and suggestions!
