GordonW Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 The trumpets on my carbs seem to periodically work loose in turn and vibrate annoyingly (cymbals not trumpets......) I realise the shaped 'washers' should clamp them in place but these seem to have lost their effectiveness, any suggestions for a cure? Maybe I should try Southern Carbs or similar for replacements as the simple solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter T Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 The metal tabs have probably become flat as people tend to over tighten them up fearing that they will come loose, a common problem and they simply need putting them in a vice and carefully tapping them curved slightly again. Loctite them in and do not over tighten them, they are torqued up at 8 lbft but most people do not own a torque wrench that goes this low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
