The parallel four-cylinder’s most difficult vacuum carburettor, officially certified!

We’ll also replace the starter valve. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Since we’ll reuse the float valve, it’s a good idea to clean it with a cotton swab (pointed end). <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

At this level it’s still good to go. We’ve decided to keep using it. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Hands-off kneading wash gets it pretty supple. It’s quite nice stuff. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Next we check the float level against the actual fuel surface, and the carburettor is assembled and done.

We’re scheduled to fire up the engine tomorrow. More to come. <\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
