Thanks to all and your suggestions.... I have the engine running now... Took a few days off from worrying over the engine... Came back yesterday and cleaned the carb one more time... changed everything out that I could..... There seem to be a leak around the gasket...replaced gasket... Engine drew gas from the tank and ran ( but not well).... Adjusted the needles and engine became smoother and running on the high end well... Choke open during running... I had already returned the 55 DLE Carb to the engine it was on and ran that engine several days ago... seems fine to me....
Thanks again... with out your help and suggestions I would have given up.... It is times like this that I would love to have a good r/c gas engine tech available to me in Birmingham....... would have saved me a lot of grief but I have learned a lot and am more comfortable working on the r/c carbs....
