    A note to old forum members...
    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. 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.

Rubber tipped needles

Anybody here tried looking for rubber tipped fuel inlet needles that would work in the BS32 carbs? I'm replacing all four needle and seat assemblies in my carbs (don't believe in just replacing the needles) and the thought occurred to me. You would then only ever need to replace needles since the seats should never wear.

Appreciate any feedback.

Thanks,

Damian
 
Thanks Chuck. Any ideas on a part number? I don't see rubber tip options on either site for CV type carbs. I suppose a call to them would confirm whether something is available.

Cheers,

Damian
 
A call and tell them what you got..Sudco used to have a PDF catalog download available too..I dont have a lot of carb issues or sourches.Others will be along i am sure to add to your options..
 
Don't be too sure about them not wearing, they do eventualy get the tell tale ring around the seating surface, nothing lasts forever.
That said, they are long wearing though, and they will last you for many years.
But then again, my brass tipped ones have lasted me for years too, if there is a great price difference, or a PIA getting them, I would just go wih the stock brass ones.
