hi list,
subject says all, I'm using a considerable amount of oil in the dashpots
lately. Used to be a top-off every week or two, now the rear-most needs a
top off every 2-4 days. At first I thought maybe the diaphragm was broken,
but after looking at it today it is fine. Next order of business was the
O-ring thingie (tech term) under the carb. nope, oil filmy, but not oil
leaky. When I took the top off the carb, I found it to be very clean, no
dirt, no oil puddle, but the needle was very loose and wiggly (another tech
term). I sure others have / had this problem, can some KS point me in the
right direction. It's not a critical item, I was planning a carb rebuild
(and a gearbox seal/mount) as my winter project, but, if the oil leak is an
easy fix, I'd like to get it done now.
All comments, help appreciated.
