Carb rebuild questions
Posted: Fri Apr 01, 2011 7:03 pm
I have two bases with wiggly shafts I'd like to rebuild. I am torn between using 8.3mm oversized shafts with no
bushings and using std. 8mm shafts with bushings. What would people with more experience recommend in this case?
My second question is related to the accelerator pump shaft. There is a wiggle there as well. Can carb covers be re-bushed
to make that go away too?
Thirdly, I noticed that floats are split (independent) in NDIX36. The replacement floats I got from EI are non-split, i.e. they both move together.
I do not understand what was the original reason of using split floats, as the pressure exerted onto the valve would always be determined by the bowl which has
more gas in it. Am I missing something here? I must be?!
Thank you
