Unfortunately it is a blind hole and not that deep but you should, with care, be able to put a helicoil in it. If that fails, try an insert. If you drill too far, it will go straight in to the oil tank so go carefully!

I have known these carbs to take a while to settle. It will probably be OK now. The gauze filters can sometimes look fine but have a dried scum in the open holes - worth taking it out and giving a close look if it persists.

Yup , he is old school, good engineer and nice fella as well. One of life's gents:thumbup:

You will typically get hardening of the fuel line and leaks around the grommet part where it seals in to the tank. The diaphragms will also harden and is more down to the damage caused by the standard fuel and its absence now you are on Aspen. I have had one or two issues converting older machines and would personally give the carb a good clean out, fit new diaphragms/gaskets, fuel line and filter and that will probably do it. If this fails then either an ultrasonic cleaner on the carb or new one - Do NOT overlook the fact that something else may have failed and is really causing the issue!

Try this, it should answer your questions - http://www.declicmotoculture.com/fs/eclates/6h3ge-028.pdf

I don't know where you stuck the needle but your "main jet" is in fact a one way check valve that acts like a jet but only lets fuel flow one way. It IS possible that jet has stuck and removing the H screw and gettinng some carb cleaner or WD40 down it will tell you if it is blocked - expect to see a spray of fuel entering the bore of the carb when looking down it. The symptoms you have are also the same for a big air leak, a small seize, a semi blocked gauze filter, holed fuel line etc!

You have three AV mounts on the MS200, I know you know which one has gone but sharing would be nice:sneaky2::lol:

Much of what I do is via couriers, seems to work OK in most cases:thumbup: I guess that is what you mean?
-
Not sure I wish to "take the transfer puff" in my workshop, you sure it is legal???
-
Obviously not taking it to the right "pro" then:sneaky2:
-
Think I had one a while ago!
-
Yup, the Vcoil kit is generally good and I also grind to size to ensure a good fit.
-
I use a bit of Loctite 270, once the insert or hellicoil is in, it will NEVER come out:thumbup:
-
That was a carbide steel one after the aluminium one popped but that was more to do with the receiving thread not being good.
-
Used both helicoil and inserts, good results on both but the quality and straightness of the new cut thread is important with both methods! I posted pics on my "what's on your bench" thread if any one is interested!

They tend to either Pop on the big carbs or leak down slowly on the smaller carbs. If you submerge the carb, it should be blatantly obvious where the air is going to as the air must be going somewhere! Carbs tend to leak a little but much less so if there is fluid in them.
-
Exactly!
-
The rattling will either be the clutch or the piston skirts wearing causing slap. Remove the clutch, fire it up and see if it still rattles and go from there!

The only ones that I find come loose are the ones I forget to do up fully:blushing: I blame limp wristed mechanics for loose nuts:lol:

No, all one big happy family on here but there are a few funny buggers on here as well:lol:

Good to see you back again Wes, where ya been, not Madeira again? Trouble with your vid is that some may believe that this is how it is done:001_rolleyes: Funny though:lol:
-
That is correct, your apology has been accepted......this could be a long evening:001_rolleyes: Just laugh at life:thumbup:
-
Being a gent, I will accept your apology:shakehands:

Getting smoking concentrated acid is going to be difficult and not necessary as a 15% acid strength works just fine. Safety specs and gloves are still required for safety sake though!
-
OK, so I made an error and thought that dissolving chlorine in water produces Hydrochloric acid so any gas escaping from concentrated HCL will be Chlorine and not HCL gas! My mistake, it has been many years since I studied chemistry, I think the important part is that the acid etches away the aluminium transfer producing Hydrogen and Aluminium Chloride. AL + HCl = ALCl + H2 It works, we know the chemistry about the reaction, we know the dangers of using acid, .......we can all use Google:001_rolleyes: and you forget a bit in 35 years:thumbdown:.....fantastic, nice one, fab...and where did this get us????
