Hey all,
Nearly finished rebuilding my carbs and thought I'd give a little tip on what to use to replace your felt washers.
I didn't feel like making them. Or ordering the originals. So I used o'rings I had laying around in a bunch of assortments.
Throttle shaft:
7/16 x 9/16 x 1/16
Choke shaft:
7/32 x 11/32 x 1/16
(Oddly enough, none of my metric assortments had anything that fit 'just right'.)
A note on the throttle shaft rings..... 1/16th thickness seemed a little sloppy in a couple spots, though on the others they were a tight fit.
I also added o'rings to the outermost choke shaft. Originally there is no felt washer there, I just wanted them to serve as extra support for the shaft itself.
Each shaft is nice and snug, sealed up beautifully. Though still rotate smoothly.
By the way, I DID NOT remove the felt washer "retainers".
Hope this helps someone else!
