I still can't figure out how all those little seeds got into the float bowl. Unless the carb has been exposed to stupid mice, who dropped the seeds down the vent thinking they could get them out later. ...Or... maybe they're very smart mice who know how to pop the top off a Q-Jet to get the seeds back out...
