Title: Does gas go through enrichment valve? Post by Tiefighterpilot on 07/31/11 at 00:20:21 I was wondering if gas goes through enrichment valve. I tried to open the side cover... But it is stuck real good. Tried using impact driver... Almost mangled the soft screws. If gas goes through, I am hoping to use sea form to clean without opening it. |

We had exactly the same problem with those carb enrichment valve cover screws. Look at reply #62 in Double RYCA build. You can carefully use a flat punch and a hammer to gently knock those screws back and forth. As soon as you seen any sideways movement (maybe 1/64") the screw will be "loosenable." I think tapping it like that and getting the screw to bend back and forth breaks the grip of the concrete locktite-ish stuff the factory uses. If you have already started to mangle the slots in the screwheads, you can use the flat punch to gently tap/mash the metal back into place. It won't be a whole lot stronger, but it won't look so mangled. If you don't have a flat-faced punch, a large nail with the point ground or filed flat will do nicely. I agree with Verslagan1,... gas is not supposed to get in there. It has a diaphragm that is vented to different parts of the carb. The diaphragm has what looks like a sort of spool valve attached to it. That valve, when moved, richens up the mixture during high rpm closed throttle situations. You'll be a happier man if you can clean that area out thoroughly (but gently),... and you can't do that without taking off the cover. |
