After getting home from the field today I started off by repairing yesterday's carnage on my Mig 21. Everything is repaired and touched up.

After that I pulled the DA50 off Miss Moana and took the carb apart. I don't see anything obvious, but I'll give it a good cleaning and rebuild it. I'm guessing the metering needle was leaking.

How do fix a metering needle. The only thing I know is you can change the needle but not the seat, or am I mistaken.

I gave it a soak in Berryman Carb cleaner today followed by a rinse and then blew it dry and blew though the ports with an airgun. I picked up a Walbro K20-WAT kit at the hardware store down the street (that place has everything!) which has a new needle in it. Hopefully the seat is okay. I'll re assemble everything tonight, but a test run will probably have to wait until Saturday.
