[SEL] Working on a Maytag for my Grandson.

[Mark Shulaw]

Hi Bill,
  Theres no good points gage available for setting them for sale. The ones 
on Ebay are flawed.
  I have the original tool and I'll set the points for free, just send 
enough $$ for return postage.
And the brass nut on the bottom doesn't need a special too. Just a hammer 
and a GOOD 7/8" open end wrench. Hit the nut squarely and sharply on its 
face to jar the corrosion bond between the brass nut and the aluminum carb 
body. Then use the wrench. You might need to clamp the carb in a vice for 
the wrenching part. And theres more then just cleaning the carb inside 
usually. Theres a spring a valve and a valve seat and the nut that wears 
out. Usually you only need to replace the valve and spring and reface the 
seat and reset the seat to proper depth.
  Got any more ?? just ask.
                                                    TTYL,   Mark
