I can not figure out where those 4 shiny, little washers go. I have the carbs taken apart, but can' figure it out! Actually I had two fallen out of the carbs. I didn't see where they were coming out from?? I keep staring at the carbs, but no enlightenment. Can someone help out, please?

There are a lot of washers on the carbs ... maybe if you told us what bike, and included a photo or two we could tell you.

You only need 2 of them. The extras are just that, extras.

The washers go on the mixture screws at the end of the spring. Then the O-ring goes on top of the spring.

Thank you so much. That was exactly what I was looking for.

Also, may I ask you how you are getting your carb body so clean? I have seen previous posts of yours and your cleaned and polished carbs look like new (or better).

I am going to polish the bottom and the top part, but what do you use to clean the main body?

It's a combination of elbow grease and a sonic cleaner with simple green solution. All the polished parts are sanded first with 2 or 3 stages of sandpaper. Finishing with triple-E and green compound on a polishing wheel.



There are some carb bodies that need to be done more intensely due to corrosion stains though.

Because Larry is the cx500 carb god. Check out the link to the book in his signature line.

The o rings that I got with my kit were too small. They just fell out. Had to buy some from the hardware store.

Larry, can I send you money for the manual by pay pal? I still got some money left in my pay pal account.

Also, my low idle jet rubber plugs seem a little seem to need replacing. The bike I am rebuilding has been sitting for a long time. most of the rubber on the bike needed replacing. The carbs were dry when I opened them up. The head of the plug shows little cracks. My question is, where do get those rubber plugs from. They were not included in my carb kit!!
