HOW TO MAKE FELT CARB WASHERS
Oddjob:
We'll see how they come out first Dave. Hopefully they'll be really good, at £90 for the punch I'd hope so.
I'll sell a few sets and recoup the outlay.
What's odd about the link that started this is it suggests 1/4" and 3/8". 1/4" is approx 6mm and 3/8" is approx 9.5mm. Which is odd as the shaft of the lifter arm is 10mm and the hole in the carb body is around 12-13mm. So the felt must have to stretch like hell to fit and most likely it would rip. Is the 400 felt washer the same as the 500/550?
Actually just noticed the felt washers on the link are going onto the choke not the lifter arm as in the 500/550.
Send me measurements of the 400 choke arm please Dave and the carb body recess. Do they not have the felt washers on the lifter arm as well Dave? Been many moons since I refurbed a 400 set of carbs.
Laverda Dave:
I would need to take the carbs apart to measure them Ken. I have a spare felt in the set I got from Mike Nixon previously. I'll measure these and let you know. There are two sizes, one for the lifter arm and a bigger one for the choke butterfly shaft.
Bryanj:
Ive got comfysofas carbs here in total dynamite condition i will see if they are there and measure them tomorrow
Oddjob:
OK Dave panic over as Bryan has a set apart. The lifter ones look the same as the 500/550. I presume there are 4 in each set?
Sesman:
Yep, four per set.
