Hi all,
Following my efforts to refurbish my carburettors that have been laid up for the last 30 years and I successfully refurbished one carburettor and thought the next one would be easy- not so
i have a major problem with my carbs- the choke starter valves located within the carb body have seized and I have tried heat, wd40, plus gas, petrol and brute force and polite swearing . This has left me with a damaged starter valve and the real frustration is how I can get the valve out without wrecking the guide upon which the valve slides within the aluminum body so that the choke operates easily and effectively.
I also have a sheared (broken stud within the starter body housing and also a broken stud within the bottom body of the carb and I would like some ideas as how I can get over this without buying another new or second hand carb as they seem to be selling for silly pennies.
Does anyone have a salvaged or old DCOE 45 31 body available I can use as a base so that I can recover the situation.
I live in Bedfordshire so any help or tips appreciated.
Regards
Nico
