Rebuilding early carbs- felt seal sources
« on: March 28, 2020, 06:16:11 PM »
If your doing a complete carb breakdown to refresh all rubber O rings then here are two excellent sources for the hard to find felt seals for the choke shafts. I have dealt with both vendors with great results.
These felt seals can be found at Mike Nixon’s website motorcycleproject.com ( an excellent resource site and ex Honda and Kawasaki tech) and at dudesgarage.com

Cheers I hope this helps as there are excellent tips from Mike Nixon's site and these felts are hard to find for most people who look.

Thank you sir!  I knew about them, but could NOT find them again!
intrigued by the wail...seduced by the scream.
