    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Fuel mixture screw washer

I'm in the middle of dipping my carbs (BS34) and I'm missing 3 of the fuel mixture screw washers. My real calipers are MIA and all I have is a plastic set to measure. I've come up with the the following measurements.

My measurements:
O/D 0.200"
I/D 0.123"
Thickness 0.015"
Mixture screw - 0.117

Closest match I can find on Mcmaster is a #4 Mil spec washer.

http://www.mcmaster.com/#90945a710/=13cd8y0

O/D 0.209"
I/D 0.115
Thickness 0.015-0.018"

The Mcmaster washer appears to be to small of an I/D, can someone verify my measurements?
Does anybody know where I could source the correct washer?

Thank You,
Dave
 
It will probably work if it fits in there. All it does is protect the O ring from getting torn up by the spring. Looks like a drill bit to enlarge the hole and it will be fine.
 
Are you SURE they are missing? I have found that the o-rings and washers like to stay in the carb bodies, and the easiest way to get them out is to use a longer (about 2-3") drywall screw. Just press the point into the hole, give it about 1/8 turn, pull the o-ring and/or washer out.

There you go. I'd bet they're hiding.


Otherwise, you can do this: http://www.cycleorings.com/washers.html
