550 F2 started!
Bryanj:
Hardest part to find will be the small pin located between 2&3 that bottom of return spring goes to
Nurse Julie:
I have the brass float pins in stock Roo, or do you mean the springs?
Laverdaroo:
The springs that sit on top of the main jet tower and spring the floats, ye rknow what I mean.
I've got good pins thanks Julie .. Probably the only, easy to remove bit of the whole operation tbh :)
Julie's sorted me out for o rings Bryan and if you mean the little barrel bit for the spring? Well funny thing that, ..........when splitting the carbs apart, not one but one good one and one mangled one fell out of a greasy dirty corner stuck together with a load of crap. Winner!
What's the best attack on the bowls and tops for shining them up? Polish or have plated? (if poss)
Talking of which, can you buy the gaskets for the tops on their own or only with a kit. Im going to use the original brass wear if it comes up ok but will need gaskets, presumably if not its going to be gasket paper/crunchy nut cornflakes packet and a sharp Stanley?
Bryanj:
Solvol and elbow for shine, top gaskets rarely break and tend to be in sets tho i did see a lone one on ebay. I have a very oldparts book that shows individual O rings and gaskets,it may well be the one in Alladins cave as Ash had all my scans for his dropbox
Laverdaroo:
Nice on mate, I thought so on the elbow bit :) I was enquiring on the gaskets as ones bound to fail or break in teh polishing process. Just pre empting a 'bugger' moment!
It appears that ebay is dry of them at the min but common Motor in the states do them at $8 each plus a billion quid customs clearance, but at least they're available. Be easier if there were a set over here but you an have it all. Meant to ask, where do I look for this code to identify which type they are< Im sure I've seen it on here somewhere, P something carbs or am I mad? Not really started to read up just going at a bit of cleaning at the min but I'm sure there was a set to have and set not to have? No?
