Ivan Posted November 23, 2008 Share #1 Posted November 23, 2008 Well, I am finishing up my fourth carb and found that I need the two gaskets, which seem to be overly priced ($20 each) every where I look. Is there a cheaper place to find them? Especially the thick one under the idle enrichment valve. Also, it seems that the PO was kind enough to misplace the bowl drain screw for one of the carbs. Is it possible to find one of those somewhere as well? All the parts fiche places don't seem to show it as separate from the carb body. It might be that my eyes are failing me though....

Dragonslayer Posted November 23, 2008 Share #2 Posted November 23, 2008 I can probably help you with the internal hard parts of the carbs including the bowl drain plug but don't think I can help you with the gaskets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeeze Posted November 24, 2008 Share #3 Posted November 24, 2008 Carb Enrichment Chamber isn't a Gasket. It's a Diaphragm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted November 25, 2008 Carb Enrichment Chamber isn't a Gasket. It's a Diaphragm. I think we are talking about two different things. I am referring to the 1/8th inch thick gasket for the "choke" valve body. I know it isn't a choke proper, so I gave it my best shot with "idle enrichment valve". The one with the small diaphragm is, as far as I can tell actuated with high vacuum, and I assume only opens on deceleration, so I called it a "deceleration valve". My terminology probably sucks.

Yeah, your Terminology isn't common and i misread/misunderstood your first Posting. So i have to take at least half of the Blame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearhead Posted November 25, 2008 Share #6 Posted November 25, 2008 I am referring to the 1/8th inch thick gasket for the "choke" valve body.

The one with the small diaphragm is, as far as I can tell actuated with high vacuum, and I assume only opens on deceleration, so I called it a "deceleration valve". I believe the former is properly called the "enricher circuit", with the valve part commonly called a plunger. But most people just say the choke plunger, everybody knows that term. The latter is called the "coasting enricher circuit", "coasting enricher diaphragm", etc. My 2 cents, for what it's worth, Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
