Title: Felt seals on carbs.
Post by: Johnny4428 on May 31, 2017, 08:52:39 AM

Hi all. Anyone have any experience with replacing felt seals on throttle or choke shaft on carbs. The reason is I had one disintegrate when I was cleaning carb, and that was just with a cotton bud. I would replace them all if I could get the seals.

Yes I did wonder about making new ones, information regarding felt thickness and whether low or medium density felt and so on would be appreciated also a source for material. There appears to be several online company's that would make seals if the correct size is known. Perhaps they might also supply material only. Any thoughts anyone.
