choke plunger tip/seal
Posted: 07 Mar 2023 20:37
I have stripped and cleaned my carbs (+petcock filters and rinsed out the tank with paraffin) following some petrol starvation due to muck blocking the filters and some fine sediment in the float bowl.
The end of the 'choke' plungers have a rubber/viton seal which has a doughnut shaped indentation i.e. outer ridge and pip in the middle. Is this how they are meant to be? Whilst I had no obvious carburation problems before my last ride, thought it worth checking if these should be replaced before ordering some other carb bits. I'm assuming they are original 40,000 mile/40 year old parts.
Thanks Robin
