Can I check P/O thru body

[craigy]

Might be a silly thought, but can you check pop-off thru carb body?

fuel inlet

let me rephrase-thru fuel inlet tube,would it give same p/o?

Yes... you can check it that way... but if you have 2 carbs... you have to disconnect them from each other, and test them one at a time.

There are 2 problems you may run into . If the needles are dry... you won't get a clean "Pop." And... you may only get one pop if you try to check it a second time.


It really is best to remove the carbs and do it the proper way.

The only thing I do with the carbs on the engine, is to check the needle and seat to make sure they hold pressure.

Thats what I`m doing,checking individual needles,I just wanted to make sure I wouldn`t damage a diaphram or something.
