Project Fat Nikki

Turned the key this am to start the fuel pump and it still ran over. Something is sticking
after sitting a long time. The float levels before I did this were fine. So the floats should
have been closed anyway. Unless they are filling or absorbing gas somehow. They are old
but look ok except for some bubbling on the surface (no breaks).

I also now think my idle circuit is basically not working, perhaps due to air issues caused by
my changes. Its a puzzle right now.

I may have to get another carb and start swapping things like jets and tubes in and out
one at a time to see what happens.
