HOW TO MAKE FELT CARB WASHERS

[Matt_Harrington]

12 x 8 for the lifter spindle, the choke ones are very hard to make, I seem to recall 10 x 6.9,  Bryan tested the ones I made and said the attrition rate was around 50%, that may be because he was the first to test them and maybe they'd be better once you knew exactly how to fit them. I'll have a try on a set of 500 carbs and see how I do.

Thanks, I'll experiment with some felt I have (use for machine bedway wipers) which is quite thick but will assist in it holding together. I can then razor them down...

I'm in the market for some felt washers for my carb rebuild.

Mine are all pretty perished. I need a full set for both the chokes and the main lifters.

Would anybody want to supply me or know where to get them ?

Thanks
Bill

Ken (formally Oddjob on here) made a few sets. I purchased a set and they are very good quality. He was going to put a few sets on ebay so that would be your first port of call. Failing that Mike Nixon in the US can supply them but they are expensive. His website is here:

You could have made some nice one's out of Mrs K's favourite cardigan after I washed it at the wrong temperature 

And her bobble hat too

Drop him a message I think he can still get them just not reply to them.
