 Re: 35 carb on 31
By 'switch' I assume you are talking about the anti-backfire solenoid that screws into the fuel bowl. Removing that solenoid has no affect on its performance.

 Re: 35 carb on 31
I'd think it would need to be jetted differently for the 31, but I don't mess with stock carbs enough to be certain. Just thought it would make sense, esp. since it's running bad & won't go over 3k, sounds like it's flooding out on top end to me.

 Re: 35 carb on 31
How long had the 35 carb been setting up? You sure your choke isn't staying open or something? You either got a dirty carb, something in the linkage is messed up, or you got an air leak somewhere. Did you replace all the gaskets when you put it back together or re-use the old?
We put a 36 carb on my dad's 32 and it runs like a champ. Did not have to change any jetting or anything like that. Just bolted right on.

 Re: 35 carb on 31
The carb was brand new and has not had any fuel in it at all.The gaskets were used,all that I had at the time,new ones on the way I will run over what you all have suggested and make a tuning run today.First time I ran it was last night,made a frogging run,It was hard to try and make adjustments and stick croakers at the same time.Thanks for the info I will keep you all informed on progress.Oh yea left the house at 9:30pm back home at midnight with 49 frogs.

 Re: 35 carb on 31
Yeah definitely look into other possibilities I did the same thing with my 31 and ran great with no adjustments and the solenoid on the bottom of the bowl I believe is to prevent the carb from flooding so it's not necessary at all

 Re: 35 carb on 31
Seen new parts fail too. Possibly some junk in the carb left over from manufacture. Send it back.
