Hi,

 

One of my carbs is leaking from the 5/8 nut that the mixture screw screws into. 

 

Is this just a rubber O ring?

 

If so can someone recommend where to source a kit or just the O ring

 

Cheers Brian

if your talking about the one under the bowl that raises and lowers the main jet then yes it's the O ring.

 

just get three new kits as if this one is gong then the others are close behind.

 

 

Ring up FABRE australia and they have kits - but there in sydney.

good luck or fle bay

No problems brian.

 

just a tip don't put any carby cleaner anywhere near the diaphragms as they distort.

 

Probably wont hurt changing them as there probably old as well.

 

but hey " if its not broken don't fix it" otherwise you will have to fix something you will break in the process LOL

 

the screws out of the dashpot's also get stuck or are hard to get out if they haven't been apart for awhile.
