New carburettor- At least for me.
Hi Jan,
I will try not to clean it to much :-) I took about 1kg of dirty so far and that throttle shaft doesn't shake yet. Joćo |

Joao,
You do not have to remove the throttle shaft or the choke plate. But do NOT soak the float, or the choke heating element. You should remove all the jets and the emulsion tube prior to soaking. The 2nd picture is a little blurry..is the casting damaged where the float pivot pin and retainer sits? Chris |

Hi Chris,
Thanks for you replay. I remove all the plastic parts and the choke heating element. It looks that there is some casting damaged but it isn't true. It is some white grease. I don't know where it comes from! Even the screws don't have any marks of screwdriver. Right now the top and jets are soaking on a cookie box with paint thinner. I hope it works! I didn't found the methylene chloride. Joćo |

"clean it up real good only to find out that the only thing that was
keeping the shaft bore from leaking was dirt, and the damn thing is actually just as worn as every other stock carb out there? Jan " I was thinking that this might be a possibility as well, but honestly this is a non-issue...rimco can replace the bushings for a reasonable fee and then you can put the thing back in service.

The top part is cleaned.
http://i1.tinypic.com/ndmzc7.jpg The jets and the screws are also cleaned. Today I also bought a Mexican kit with the gaskets and other parts to rebuild it. A few minutes ago, I putted the body of the carburetor soaking. Joćo |

I have also thought on that, but I read a few posts saying that the new
carbs are crap. Joćo |

I made some progresses on the carb as you can see. http://i1.tinypic.com/nevu5x.jpg ....and yes, I forgot to remove that jet. The main jet (125) and the Air correction (80) were 50% blocked with white grease. Tomorrow I will blow all the passages and jets with an air compressor. Today I used carb cleaner on them. I think that the shaft is quite good, because I can only feel a small clearance between 0.05 and 0.1 mm. Joćo |

It's done. I hope it works fine. I had to sand blaster the external
parts and painted them gold. So, now I have a 34 Pict3 GOLD carb :-) You can see the differences Before vs After. http://i1.tinypic.com/ngrlgw.jpg Joćo |
