Part #99 is the PreAtomizer for the Zenith carbs. I visually noticed that when I increased the rpm's, the gas coming out of the PreAtomizer was heavy in volume, and kinda spurted out. Should it be 'Atomized' as it leaves the PreAtomizer?

The needle and seat seem good, because when I force air down the gas port, no air escapes when the needle is closed.

Guess I better check the float height next.
