Title: Isolating bushing for bing intake
Post by: shpclay on February 01, 2007, 03:14:58 PM
What would you use if these are not available? Bing had them, but no longer. Carb will not fit tight without this.

And if you find one, perhaps someone here can confide the secret in getting it affixed!
I carried one in my spare parts for years because I couldn't get it to fit on the spigot, even though it fit fine without the carb, and fit fine in the carb!

Buy Felpro sheet gasket material (pick your thickness) at Auto Zone or your favorite jobber.  Cut to your desire.  If you want it glued, use Loctite glue to secure the ends together.  CIAO

I seem to remember that there was also a fiber washer that fit inside the carb before you install the bushing? Does that ring a bell? Gavin

Gavin is correct about the fiber washer. What size bike (bing) are these for? I have the fiber washer for the Sachs and 2 different sized bushings.

I used the gasket material and it seemed to work, I didn't put in the washer. The bing is a 36mm I see it listed in the manual, but it didn't have one in it. I'll start it today if it warms up.
