Tidbits on the Internet !
--- "I know this thread is getting old by now but lemme tell y'all what I did that makes BJ8 carb removal a (relative) breeze. I replace the 5/16" hex nuts (which require a 1/2" wrench) with 5/16-24 Jet Nuts from a Pegasus Racing catalog. These have a reduced hex (read 3/8" wrench) but the surface area is the same as the regular nut. Believe me, it's a zillion times easier to work with the smaller wrench. Just my 2-cents-worth...."

From: Bernard Johnsen
Alex -Was your problem a sticking float, or a needle valve that did not shut ? When my needle valve does not shut, I turn off my fuel pump (I have a switch in series with the pump) and run the engine until all the gas in the float bowls is used up. The floats are now at the bottomof the float chambers, and the needle valves are WIDE open. Turning the fuel pump back on causes an in rush of fuel, which usually blows any dirt off of the needle valve, and it will then work properly. This works for me, and it requires no disassembly of the float lid.- Bernie, 1967 BJ8
-- Beckie and I are planning a run to Winthrop Friday, the the 5th if any one would like to join us. The weather is supposed to be much better, maybe 80 here. If it does not get better, then we will most likey go to a local pub instead. The plan is laid out below. I will send out a last minute go or nogo Wednesday evening. Leaving North Kirkland at 9:00 AM Friday, the 5th of September. (Meet us at the Park and Ride Lot at 8:30 to 8:45. It is the P/R at exit 22on the 405.)Traveling East across Hiway 522 to Hiway 9 in Woodinville. North on Hiway 9 to Arlington.Turning East on Hiway 530 at Arlington, through Darington and continuing Northon 530 to Rockport. Again turning East on Hiway 20 at Rockport, toward Winthrop.We will stop at Newhalem for lunch or maybe to buy picnic stuff and go on to Washington Pass in the North Cascades. After replenishing our stomachs, we will continue down 20 to Winthrop. Not sure how many are going so we will not be able to plan too much ahead, but will make some inquiries about group rates at a few of the B/B's and motels and hotels before we leave. Stay and party at Winthrop Friday night. Leaving Winthrop Saturday morning at 9ish, we will travel South on 20 to Southside of Twisp, turning onto the 153 South to Pateros.At Pateros, we will turn right onto 97 to Chelan. At Chelan we will get on the ALT97 on the West side of the River and go to Wenatchee. In Wenatchee, we will turn West on 2 and head to Leavenworth. Lunch in Leavenworth before heading up over Stevens and home to the P/R in Kirkland. Drop us an e-mail, telephone us or just show up before 9 Friday to join us. I am sure that this will be a very fun trip. This is the planned route, but as usual, we will most likely get detoured here and there. Also, I would like to remind our Oregon and BC neighbors they are welcome to join us. (Please call or e-mail me with where you might join up with us.)
