Float Bowl O Rings

<< < (2/2)

Nurse Julie:
Hi Tom. I didn't use any 'goo'  I found the 'O' rings stayed in the groove if I warmed the rings up a bit in my hands before fitting, makes them more supple. I have had no leaks so worked for me

Chris400F:
I used a little 'goo' but only a little, applied with a cocktail stick. Maybe I should have borrowed Julie's hands!

If the O-ring has a tendency to escape from the groove then a little masking tape will hold it in place while the 'goo' sets or the warmth from Julie's hands dissipates.

A woman with warm hands don't believe it  ;)

Nurse Julie:
 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Warm most of the time Paul. Bloody freezing like everyone elses when I have been on the bike. Luckily my hands are quite small, perfect for fiddling with carbs

tom400f:
OK.

Warm hands on the rubber.

No goo.

Got it.
