HOW TO MAKE FELT CARB WASHERS

<< < (3/11) > >>

CB-500:
Hi everyone.. I’m currently rebuilding my carburettor’s and have encountered the felt washers issue.
During research for felt washers I came across this old thread, unfortunately I don’t have anything to hand to use as a felt washer.
Would anybody be able to recommend where I could order some grade ‘A’ felt as mentioned in this opening topic along with the required thickness of felt.
Many thanks

I have the tools and the felt to make these Roo and CB-500. Do you still need some?

I must warn you, they are quite fragile so I tend to soak mine in Silicon oil as that not only helps them keep together but also aids in lubricating the lifter shaft that passes through them.

Sesman:
Start a production line as I’d be grateful for a set….or even two sets.😀

Laverdaroo:
I've built two sets now without them, i was assured it wasnt a vital nessessity. They were so dear and I couldnt find the stuff to make it from. After I'd bought the punches and the felt and the postage, it wasnt worth the outlay for a handful of washers when I didnt definitely need them.

Get cracking Ken, you must have a bit of spare time to rustle up a quick 20 sets? ;D ;D

Oddjob:
20 sets ?????? You know where you can go with that request. TBH they ain't hard to make, just fiddly. I'll make a few sets as soon as I get the time.
