Hello, BCFers, I'm doing a light rebuild of my 175 carbs, and a couple questions for those who've been down this road before. In my TRF carb rebuild kit, there was no inner gasket for the bypass valve; Nelson Reidel shows one on his 3 part rebuild PDF, as seen in my photo,
(the one w/ the brass-colored ring),but it's not present in either of the rebuild kit; The one in there now is quite stiff...I guess a call to TRF is in order...
The second questions is a little more perplexing to me: I want to at least see if the o-ring on the needle adjust screw is OK; I'm able to get the needle/carrier out, but the the adjusting screw/o-ring, and 6 prong retaining clip is held fast. (I have the correct tool).
Nelson talks about tapping it out w/ a steel rod, but won't that clip score the air valve guide rod as it comes out, and how do I know how far to tap it in when I reassemble it?
I'm guessing the o-ring is OK, as it's holding damper oil in the guide rod, but as long as I'm here in the neighborhood... Thanks for all comments, and God bless Nelson Reidel!
