Hello,

I keep reading about that "half spacer" but I don't know what that is.

Can anyone tell me please if the spacer can be bought or one just have to modify/cut/sand the stock one?

Thanks!

I believe it's item #6 below and it has been identified in several other posts on the site too.  You can replace it with a suitable washer simulating a 1/2 to 2/3 spacer or you can shave/sand the original.  You could also buy another spacer and shave/sand it down, if you prefer.

Thanks for your answer!

Is it under the spring?

I heard there is too much trouble to remove the screws to have access to the spacer. Is that so?

Thanks again!

Please take a look at the Technical Documents/Reference forum and read some of the carb and tuning posts like:

Lancer's Straight & Simple Carb Tuning

A Carburetor Primer

Carb Specs.

Carburetors 101

Also, please be sure to read the sticky post near the top of that forum entitled Posting Guidelines: DO NOT POST QUESTIONS HERE!.
