Just bought one that is having ignition , compression and brake caliper issues . It’s probably more than that though im not sure yet. Was $100 id say its worth the effort

@DocJonesGarage 6 күн бұрын

Awesome! your compression issues might sort themselves out if it hasn't run in awhile but $100 is just too good to pass up 😎

@@DocJonesGarage Well, I tried twice soaking the darn rubber duct in super hot water. It fits over a 2.5 inch round opening on the air box, and a 3 inch opening on the engine case. The heat got the rubber soft, but the opening size is still too small. First try was a total failure. Second heat try, and I barely managed to get the lower 3 inch opening onto the case, and then slashed my thumb real bad with a small pic tool trying to pry the top portion onto the air box. DOH!!!! I guess I will take it off and try some peppermint oil and whiskey on it (maybe for my thumb too). (I had this rubber duct off for 6 years due to life forcing me to put a hold on the restoration project......so, you dont want to remove rubber parts like this and just put in a box.)

In a pinch find the wintergreen infused alcohol. It's a bit harder to find in the CVS/Walgreens but it's there. Definitely stinks big time of wintergreen. I did spring for the Green Health Wintergreen and will do my mixing with the 'green' alcohol. Try it straight if you like.

@DocJonesGarage 7 ай бұрын

I went with the natural wintergreen mainly because I was trying to see if it might not swell the rubber as much, and I could control the ratio a bit easier. As you saw it still does swell just takes longer and maybe not as much.

@briansegarra9312 Ай бұрын

Did that alcohol worked for you kd350 ? I tried one that was 50% and it worked slightly, i may need tk get the stronger 70% alcohol one

One can acquire wintergreen infused isopropyl alcohol and is the same price as straight alcohol. I figure perhaps I can dilute 1 to 5 using the iso...I'm paying $45 for 16 oz/473cc's worth.

I was wondering if you would recommend using the wintergreen oil on float bowl gaskets. They are old and kind of stiff but have no cracks and I would think could be used if the flat spots would go away.

@DocJonesGarage 9 ай бұрын

If they are rubber gaskets that your trying to preserve for whatever reason then I'd say it's worth trying for sure, I'd still inspect them carefully afterwards to make sure there isn't any cracks in the rubber. If they swell up a bit just let them sit for a couple of days and they will shrink down a bit.

Yes, I used the ultrasonic to help loosen up any old fuel that was left inside that would affect the operation of the carb and also help degrease it (simple green) the vapour blaster is mainly for cleaning the outside and get at all the impossible to get at areas so I could make it look new again.

I just had a look at another carb I have that's partially disassembled (a PD41b) and removed the seal on the throttle shaft, it's actually a small lip seal instead of the felt ones that were in the video. I don't know the history of this carb but the measurements (best I could tell) on the seal are 14mm outside dia 10mm inside dia and about 2.5 mm deep. maybe that helps? I'll see if I can find the choke o-ring measurements I'll include them here.

I'll lube up the rubber part with a little oil on my gloves and rub it in for a few seconds, wipe off the excess and let it sit for a a few minutes before I re-install the parts!! It seems to work quite well!! The only thing I wouldn't do that to are the old o-rings! They're already flattened out and stretched a bit so...they will only expand more with the fresh oil!!
