meadowbrook Posted October 24, 2016 Report Posted October 24, 2016 Hi guys. I am in process of replacing my incorrect Carter BB with a proper Stromberg BXVD-3 I found on ebay. I have seen the float setting as 1/4" from the top bowl gasket surface and 5/8". Any tips? Is that a good carb compared with the BB? Any unique idiosyncrasies? On the rear axle, there are these plugs near the ends to lubricate the rear bearings. How does one lube them properly? I squirt a pump or 2 from the grease inside and replace the plug, but I have no idea how much is too much and don't want to blow a seal and have grease in my brake shoes. Finally, I am installing a Maradyne MP166K-6 Pacesetter Series 16" 6 Volt Universal Fan and am wondering if my stick 6V generator can handle it. If not, are there more powerful units that are still 6V out there? Quote
