Walbro Carb Kit.

[H-A]

Hi, I am in the process of rebuilding an 020 AV Super.

 

Have had the carb in the ultrasonic tank and now I am replacing the gaskets and diaphrams.

 

The new flappy non return type gasket is made from a blue celluloid , is this normal? as the original one was black rubber material.

 

Thanks

Ive never seen blue before. Black, clear, White but never blue?

Looks the same give it a go, you will soon find out.

The blue material has been developed to resist the damage caused by the solvents in modern petrol. The black ones soften and deform.

I have seen the blue type before, the old nitrile type is found on older carbs and tends to be replaced by thinner polyester sheet types nowerdays.

 

If you want an original carb kit, Rowena Motors are the boys to ask, Hugo is the guys name and he is da man as far as carb bits and info are concerned - do not be put off by the crap web site:thumbup:

Thanks for the replies, now a bit happier with the rebuild.

 

Waiting for postman now, new fuel pickup pipe and AV rubber.

 

Looks like it will be a good saw.

 

Bought it at a boot sale, the owner took it to HSS, and they said it was not repairable, not sure they could get it apart.

 

I would say £5 well spent.

Well the blue one works.

 

Tuned it up, starts first pull.

 

Is this a classic saw to keep?

Well H-A. What a nice little tale and a good working saw after your repair work.

I purchased my 020 in 1987 and rebuilt it about four years ago and still use it for all sorts of jobs.

I would say it's a classic to keep as it is very handy!

For its age that's the best 020 ive seen, you've got your self a bargain there.

I have lost count of the equipment I have been given as scrap by people saying youll never fix it.

I have upset most of em.

good feeling aint it.

[H-A]

good feeling aint it.

 

It is a great feeling when it starts, thats why I do it, still gives me a buzz.

 

I do keep an eye out at the boot sales, most people can't be bothered to mend things, so there are bargains to be had.
