Re: What do you do when.......

Not sure what happened to the first half of my last post, but looks like I have to type it again.

I have three 26VA carbs and only one car, so could part with a carb or two. All pipe inlet threads are good. Throttle spindles are .... very worn, fairly well worn, and not too bad.

Can't find the 7 on any flanges, but wonder what is the best way to clean the Mazak, and are they best cleaned before or after stripping.

They have not been used since 1966, though one was working ok for ten minutes or so in 1986.

Re: What do you do when.......

Thanks everyone for your very kind offers, there are obviously quite a few 26VAs lying around! Guess many have been replaced with dastardly SUs etc.

The relevant casting is on its way to me, I can then build it up with my gubbins. It won't do me any harm to get to know the intimate details of this high tech piece of kit!

Thanks again
