Wait, wait, wait! Pointy part goes up! ? And "springie" part goes down ridding on float tang!?

That means the numb-nut who "rebuilt" the carb before I got the bike put that back in upside-down!

Thank you so much you guys. I will be fixing that problem tomorrow.

OK, I am thinking about getting a new (used) carb for the bike but, they are soooo expensive! Does anyone know of a new carb that will fit onto a CA77? I see that new carbs are half the price of used original ones.

The only thing I am having probs with is setting the float. I can't seem to get it right. One setting poors gas ou...
