On the linkage kit for my Weber carbs, there are nylocks that hold the
bolts that hold the dog bones to the linkage arms. Yesterday I lost one
of the nylocks and thus the linkage came loose. (A very scary situation
with an engine with less than 500 miles on it suddenly not running very
well!!! Thankfully it was easily diagnosed and fixed enough to get
home!)
Has anyone ever experienced a nylock failing to hold or backing off?
These were new when they were installed.
Since these connections need to be loose with no binding, should I go
with a couple jam nuts locked together on each bolt instead of nylocks
or just stick with nylocks and carry extras?
Thanks
tim
