.......they only work right if they are installed properly. Sorry you had the trouble, Bill, it is frustrating knowing your beautiful cruiser is not performing properly. Congratulations for hunting the problem down and fixing it. Normally a carb rebuild is intuitive, and the parts that come out can be replaced one at a time with parts from the kit that match up. Sometimes if you totally disassemble something, THEN you are in trouble trying to figure out what part should go where, and how. When I rebuild a carb, I clean everything I can, and then start the disassembly process carefully, and then I clean each port that is opened, and reassemble at the time of internal part disassembly. Otherwise it would be a tough job getting things back together right(at least for me). It is amazing how one tiny little part, like a small spring and check ball, can make a great big thing like a 427 malfunction!
Again, glad you have Challenger back in service.
Tom
