Hi all!
So I've replaced the butterfly seals on my carbs as I was having vacuum issues.
First of all, I was a little confused when I pulled out the seals and one of them seemed noticeably larger than the other three. (picture to come) The seals themselves seemed to be in good shape, so perhaps it was the single oversized unit causing the problem.
Now for a few questions:
1. What way do the seals go in? Bevel facing away from the carb body, or bevel facing in?
2. I dun gone and effed up some screws on the butterflies. Where is the best place to find replacements (in Canada)? I read that perhaps some Suzuki screws would fit?
3. I know there are ball bearings on the choke rod, but I also found one bearing that was a bit larger than those two. I have no idea where it is from, it was just amongst my carb parts while I was reassembling. Note: it could be from another project, I was borrowing some shop space from a friend.
Thanks!!
