Carburettor Rebuild Time... Help!

<< < (3/7) > >>

Clem2112:

O rings are for the main jet, float valve and the drain screw. The 4 larger ones are for the fuel feed connector tubes or the inlet tee.

Drew400:
Thanks again, I'm now clear on the gasket set.

I'll have another go at inserting the needle jet tube in the next few days. Maybe it's just a bit of a tight fit after the carbs were cleaned, but it's still a source of slight worry to me (I don't like pushing hard on carb bits as they all seem so delicate!).

Cheers for now,

D.

Trigger:
Spot on Clem. You are right about the air screw. Drew, wipe a little Vaseline on the tube to see it it will slide in. Has the tube been cleaned?

Drew400:
Thanks again Trigger,

I have cleaned the tube only with petrol and airline, but the carb body has had the full sonic and vapour blast treatment.

I'll try the old Vaseline trick when I next get into my garage. Sadly, the day job gets in the way of the rebuilding classes, eh?!

Cheers,

D.

Trigger:
Drew, the tubes need to be nice and clean and all the holes checked. As Norniron once said, You may think that they are clean but, have a look with a microscope. He was right.
