Re: RDE-17 Johnson tuning issues

[opposedtwin]

It fits on the bottom of the "fuel nozzle", #74. It’s not pictured in any of the parts catalogues until about ’60 or ’61 for the RD models. In most I have torn apart, there is installed a leather looking ring that is usually tattered and frayed pretty good. NOS ones are impossible to find. I put an o-ring on there, though I can’t remember who recommended it-maybe Frank or another knowledgeable source. I ordered a bag of 50 from mcmaster-carr. I’ll track them down and get you the number. Could send you a few if you like.
