fit the carbs back on my LTD after a full overhaul. they were very dirty and leaking from the fuel inlet on the plenum. that turned out to be a very strange fault. it looks like some one had cut an old hose off. with a nine inch grinder. :beg:
had another plenum, so just switched it over. :head bang:
also, decided to change the throttle shaft felt seals. i had never done this before, so did a bit of research. and attacked a spare set of carbs to see how it all goes together.
the popular theory is that the felt seals dont make too much difference. i beg to differ. after doing a lot of reading, especially the Honda carb booklet on this site :read: , and taking note that many experts say 'leave em alone" i threw caution to the wind and dived in.
it's not that hard and the over all condition of the felts was bad all round. so, new ones in ( i oiled them up as i could find no info on whether to fit them dry or otherwise ) and got them all back together.
it now starts much easier and runs very well. i am thinking to do the others .... :Egyptian:
here's a couple of pictures. first the fuel inlet.
and here are some pics of the new seals, old ones , and a comparison.
