Oscar cederqvist Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Does anyone know if the floatchamber should be fixed rigid to the carb? Mine sits kind of loose and could be moved a little by hand. Hope you understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshire_spam Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 If they are su hs3/hs4 the locating ring is plastic and can allow movement even if the bolt is tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar cederqvist Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 As i understand there is no conection between the floatchamber an carb. IF It's loose it wouldn't leaking air. I'm trying to locate an airleak and trying to rule out that conection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drofgum Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Oscar,There will be no air leak where the float chamber attaches to the carb body. On your Mk1 the throttle shafts are more likely and then maybe the three-piece inlet manifold. Best of luck, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nang Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 There is a bolt on the side of the carb which is just about hidden beneath the linkage which holds the float chamber to the body. This has probably come loose. A 7/16" ring spanner will fit.Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
