I suspect Ken is right about the quality of Gerben work look at my 500 carbs!

Bryanj:
And Ken will probably fit the idle scre and spring foc!

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Sorted the quadrant rivets - an extra large one as well in the spare hole.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I have cleaned up number 1 carb and started to assemble the Emulsion & main jet when I realised how "loose" the main jet was in the carb body - I was able to pull it out by hand when dismantling - now it is barely held in place - not good.

When I fitted new seals in my 400 (kit from NJ) they were a nice firm fit in the body needing a smear of red rubber grease to be pushed in with my thumb - these just do not seal as they should - in fact they start to drop down when turned the right way up!

I'm going to need to replace all the O rings when NJ is back from that Greek island.

florence:
can you not get a second hand shaft?

I might be able to find one in my collection.

yes, and bracket

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Thanks for the offer Florence I have secured a bracket from Ken (Oddjob) the shaft is useable now the rust has been removed. I have cleaned it with Evaporust then passivated it. If needs be I can paint in once in place as well.

There is a potential souce of a new shaft in SS from the US in the future. Thanks Ted
