leaky carbs

[LKe1021587@aol.com]

I just finished a rebuilt kit on my TC's carbuerators. They were leaking pretty bad. Now one carb is dry and the other leaks a bit, although not like before. Do I need to do more adjusting or wait until the new washers and seals set up a little longer? It's running perfectly, so I'm hesitant to mess with it. thanks. Mike TC1307

How long did you soak the cork seals in oil before installing them? Overnight? Ed TC0275

Mike I have some suggestions, are you sure yoiu removed all the old seals, many times there is an existing set in the lower jet bearing and another set had been installed abobe it. Is th spring between the packing stiff enough. I use Cork rubber and have excellent results, O rings are not so hot, and natural cork leaves a bit to be desired Joe curto [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Joe, Would "abobe" be that brown material so often found in the Mexican rebuild kits? Doug [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
