    Welcome. When I was a boy that was my dream, auto mechanic. While I worked lots on cars ended up in technology and IT. As a wrench head, what do think of the modern oils and changing five or ten thousand. In our family 3000 was a religious belief. Also what the heck is 0 to 20 wt oil, strikes me as impossible. I finally put Mobile one in an older Buick to see if mileage improved. Improved very little if at all. Enjoy the site.

    If it is not brass or something similar don't reuse it. They can absorb enough gas to gain weight, then your floats don't.

    Just the floats. They are probably heavier than they should be and not floating. This is a bigger problem than it sounds like. If they don't float you engine doesn't get enough gas.
