If you mean brake hoses, Ya don't do that either.Thanks, i use for clogged brake cables as well.
Try it, what is there to loose...If you mean brake hoses, Ya don't do that either.
Ha haI use a violin string.
Your life, if you poke a hole in a brake line between the inner and outer rubber layers and don't notice it.Try it, what is there to loose...
The orings in the kit suck. Isnt there a better oring out there? Like viton..There are usually 2 sizes of Orings in the rebuild kits that look like the right ones for the fuel rails. Use the one that the Oring stands ABOVE the fuel rail. The thin size is only flush with the fuel rail, not thick enough. Even when using the thicker size one they're just tight enough. I just did two banks of these carbs with two more sets to do.
Ok, got itDon't be cheap. there are 2 things in life you shouldn't mess around with; brakes and tires.
Buy a quality carb kit.The orings in the kit suck. Isnt there a better oring out there?
ThanksLoose Chain is right. Buy a more expensive kit like the one from Randakk's, or K&L. Something made in Japan. I have never had any carb issues with proper Japanese-made kits but I have had *many* issues with cheap Amazon/Ebay kits, and even some issues with All Balls and Tusk kits that were mid-priced. You get what you pay for.
The rings in properly good carb kits will be perfect unless you feel like hunting down every JIS size of O-ring you need and buying every one in Viton instead of NBR, which will take you a good while. Viton also isn't as stretchy as NBR so you can sometimes have fit issues even if they're the same size.
