thanks again for all the help with the flange. and yes a piece was broken off but no telling how long ago, so i will just cross my fingers and hope for the best.
my next question is a carb issue. i have 34/3 and the larger screw (bypass) is always moving out of adjustment.
i swapped it with another one and it still moves after a few miles.
Does anyone have a trick to keep it from moving .
Does it have the rubber O ring around it ?
yes it does and it seems to be in good shape.it looks like it sticks out just past the threads of the screws.
Haven't looked at one in a while but I think it sits in a groove right about where the threads end. Stupid idea but is it possible the threads are stripped ? I've got one on one of my cars also and its usually very tight.
if it is stripped it would be on the carb side. this is the 2nd bypasss screw i tried. and they both slip.
Replace the O ring ring seal and it won't move anymore. I think I have some.
thanks for the offer but you are about 2 hours away let me see if i can find one here
