Opinion seems divided on whether the cold start valve should have the gasket you made (be a shame to waste that excellent effort though). I've got two of these and neither had an internal gasket. After trying normal fuel hose between carbs I went with clear vinyl tube, just so I can visually verify that the cold start valve is passing fuel to the back! Nice shiny carbs!! 🙂
Oh, interesting. I definitely removed a gasket from there, so makes sense to put one back! I was going to get some lawnmower / chainsaw fuel line (which is similarly thin and transparent) to join the two carbs. That'll be a little way down the road yet though.
Another nice job Joe that any mechanic including myself would be proud of 👌
Thanks Thomas! Looking forward to getting them on the engine, but that’ll be some while away…
so clean!
Yeah the soda blasting worked very well (and didn’t make toooo much mess!)

@@redfoxclassics sounds excellent! A gasket can't hurt :-) My clear hose has gone yellow from the petrol ;-)
