Carb Help Please
08/15/07 at 08:54:27

Sitting here on a rainy day rebuilding the carb. Things were going smoothly until I got to the "slider" thing. Down inside, where the little brass plate screws in over the rod with the little white washer on it. Do the slots in the brass plate cover, or go over the 2 little holes in the bottom? And I notice it's got a small peen in it. Does that signify which side up or down? I put it back in with the peen facing up, and the 2 holes don't quite line up with the slots. It looks like if I flip it over so the peen is facing down, the holes will line up with the slots.
I know......I should pay more attention when taking it apart. Lesson well learned.
Any info on this would be appreciated. I don't want to assemble it wrong and have it not run.
Thanks in advance.

Does it fit more than one way?

I did the white spacer mod 2 weeks ago and had to rotate plate 180 degrees to get the holes to line up. But didn't think about the flipping it over.

Plate did mount flat against the slide. With this in mind, you would only have to worry if the peen was up, would it hit anything.

I know you probably can't wait, but I was going to take my carb apart this weekend to put the new Jet's Lancer sent me. I could look then......

A simple search on "carb" and "dimple", turns up everything you've asked about... among them, this entry by Steve530.

...The needle has, from the top, the spacer, the e-clip, a washer, and the spring.

The lock plate has a dimple which is installed down, toward the spacer. It actually sits on the spacer and hold the lock plate off the washer a bit. I have no idea why. The plate has two holes for the screws and three slots. One is at 2 o'clock, one at 6 o'clock and another at 10 o'clock. The 2 and 10 o'clock slots uncover two holes in the diaphram. Again I have no idea why they are there.

Finally the upper lip of the diaphram has a small tab that goes into a groove in the carb body. I assume that this locates the assembly in the correct position.

I got it together, dimple down and the 2 holes line right up. For future reference: buy a small magnetic tip phillips screwdriver. This would have saved me about an hour. Man, them are some tiny screws way down in there.
