Washer in carb?
03/29/10 at 18:46:39
 
I have been told mixed things about putting a washer back in the carb to replace the spacer?
I have a stock header into a sportster muffler cone air filter straight off the carb and an iridium plug. any ideas?
If i do end up putting washers back in where is the best place to get them and what size do i need?

Thanks in advance

didn't he include some washers or did you get an early kit like me?

the white spacer is smaller than a #4 washer but I think that what's been used.  #3 might be a better fit though.

must have been an early kit. I was told I should put enough washers back to be the same thickness as the original plastic one with the mods I have? any ideas on if that is true or not? right now i have no washers.

Mmmmmm, that suggests that the stock spacer (.100) was ok ?

Most of us used about .050 to .060 spacer.

I've heard differing numbers and sizes of metal washers...#4 or #3,  and 2, 3 , or 4 thick...
But,... if you have an Ace Hardware,... I use 1, #4 teflon washer... they come in black or white, both the same, and exactly 2/3 as thick as stock.... .066"...  stock is right around .1"...

maybe if you warm it up a bit   Grin

I've only checked one, but I remember others saying .110"

but think about it... .1" = 2.54mm

I think you found a shaver.   Roll Eyes

BTW, my caliper is calibrated to national standards   Grin
