Carburettor re-build
The excessively worn throttle spindle was built up and turned back down to its correct size to fit back in the carburettor, i did this as a trial to see if it helped my running problems, it was later changed for a new spindle.

A carburettor service kit was bought, the main parts are the brass fuel shut off valve (known to leak past) the new carb gasket set, a throttle spindle, and two nylon bushes to re bush the worn body casting where the throttle spindle fits, there are also lots of alloy washers.
The bad part about buying one of these kits is there are no instructions or drawings of any kind included, which considering you have to drill out the throttle spindle bores in the top casting of the carb, a pretty serious bit of surgery really, especially as there is no details of it and no details of what size to drill them! |
