Hi Everyone, I've rebuilt and polished my carbs and have been wondering what to do with the cracked plastic buttons on top of the carbs. I ran the engine after reinstalling the carb set and it ran terrible. Then, I smeared black silicone rtv over all 4 plastic tops and warmed the engine up again. Right from the start the engine was smoother and more responsive. As the heat developed with the rad fan cycling on and off a couple of times the silicone seemed to be under pressure and began to bulge and lift a bit on one of the carbs.
The carbs aren't synced yet but the engine already seems brand new! So, what suggestions do you gurus and non-gurus have out there for this problem? Thanks and Merry Christmas or secular holiday! Jim
