    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

O.K. So I know that I need these plugs in the carbs for sure ! The old ones seem in good shape , but fit back in and out very loose , should I buy new ones or is that the way they should fit ???

Thanks for your interest .
 
They should not fall out if you put the carb upside down, if they do buy new ones. At least that's my thinking on the matter.
 
Yes they should be squishy enough not to fall out but not like this:

Those plugs are held up by a riser in the bowl which presses them up into the tube. They don't need to fit perfect because they will get squished into place when you fasten the bowl.
 
That's the answers I was looking for ...with pics too ...awesome ! I don't think I need new ones now , Thanks to all for your help !
 
Those ones in the pic above were "new" from some eBay seller and were only installed for 9 months before they turned to mush.

I'm guessing it's the crap fuel we have these days.

Beware non-OEM!!
