Round seals and hexagon bowls...

(1/3) > >>

Athame57:
See picture attached. Is there actually an easy way of making these round float bowl seals sit in the pentagon groove of the float bowl,  ::) obligatory red rubber grease has been applied. I'm ready to scream myself....help!   :o

Nurse Julie:
If its not working for you with the red rubber grease George, clean the O rings and put a small dab of superglue in each corner of the float bowl, that will hold it. Red rubber grease usually sticks it on place though.

Athame57:
Thanks Julie
Having mucho cursing, sweat, tears and toil I got the first one on.  ;D Must go get some super glue though.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I also coated my O rings with some Red Rubber grease then it stayed on the carb part bowl as Julie has said.

Not excessive just enough to wet all of the seal - once in the recess I just wiped off any excess with my fingers.

Oddjob:
I must say the float bowl orings I tested when I was sourcing my orings for the carbs fitted with no grease or adhesive at all. Just pressed into place and stayed there. Get the correct size and you don't seem to have that problem.
