Anyone with experience with the o-ring replacement for the cork glands in
the
H6 carb that Moss sells (part number 365-420)? I bought a set of these but
have not tried them. I assume one uses the same cupped washers in the same
configuration with them on the jet.
When I rebuilt my H6 carbs I used the cork gaskets that were included in the
rebuild kit. The chokes seemed very tight. I purchased the o-rings and
replaced the corks with them. Much improved choke operation with no leaks.
Have only been in place a year and have no prior experience as to the
durability of the cork seals, but am very happy with the o-rings.
