Ben, it was June 28th when I had the carb apart. No photographic evidence of
the boss gasket, but pretty sure I made a new leather one, or borrowed one
from an open carb kit.
Interesting enough, I just looked at the carb diagram, and I can’t for the life
of me see a "boss gasket".
Did they not put them on some model carbs? Could I have an issue installing
a boss gasket if there isn’t suppose to be one?
Refresh my memory please…….. Is the carb’s low speed circuit fed
through (and shared with the high speed circuit) the center nozzle,
or through a passage in the carb bowl?
Thanks for the help!
quote Fisherman6:
It seems that my RDE-16 has the high speed needle open closer to 1/2 turn or a little more. Do you kniw if your carb has the boss gasket in it or not? It could be that the 1/3 turn could be the setting without a boss gasket and your carb has one in place? I don’t know. I have been into only 2 of these carbs. Neither of those had a boss gasket when I took them apart, but I put one back into both of them. With that gasket in the carb, both of the carbs are between 1/2 & 3/4 turn out for best running. Not having it in there certainly allows more fuel into the high speed circuit at the same needle setting.
