[QUOTE="krakum1967, post: 125623, member: 3691"] I looked it over (that other cylinder/solenoid), and I don't think its vacuum related, and like Joe said, its really just an overflow bowl at this point, so I left it in there. I did remove that EPA vent panel, removed the diaphragm, filled the cavity with silicone, and make a full gasket to cover the hole. I also trimmed the little brass piece that vents to the venturi chamber to make sure my gasket cuts off any airflow there. Also, I don't think its a vacuum issue, but it might be. Its at least a leaky area where dirt can get past the filter. But where the choke arm comes through the carb body, there are two pieces of plastic, one is a retainer, the other is the plastic slide that lets the choke arm move around. I removed the retainer,and shook the plastic piece with the hole in it out of the cavity. I filled that large hole with two vacuum port caps, and them lined the bottom and top of the seal with silicone. Like I said, its before the venturi, so its not technically a vacuum issue I don't think. But I capped the hole to prevent dirt from bypassing the filter. Lastly I plugged the vacuum port that was behind the choke as weightlifter and 81 Wing pointed out. I am trying to eliminate leaks so I want to get them all, and I read what Joe had done on his, so I am taking care of that now. I am still on the fence about drilling the butterflies, but I will test it first. I will post picture later on, I am covered in dirt and gas again, and the wife says I am giving her a headache, so out to the shop I go again. Now I am going to wait for sealants to dry, and test it tonight after the seals have dried up a bit. I also have to go collect a car payment on a car. This kid I sold my Bonneville to is being a real pain in the ass with his payments, and I am at my end of my patience with him. Think I will just repo it. I have a cash buyer who will pay full asking price in full cash. So it I am done with that. [/QUOTE]
