Choke retainer o-ring

[Guest]

Evening all

I am in the process of rebuilding my BS32SS carbs and have 1 and 2 stripped and dipped. I have started to put them back together but I am not sure where the choke retainer o-ring goes I have removed the choke mechanism and I cant see any oring that matches or where one would go if it was missing. I know Robert says in his blurb that its often not required but I can even see where it would go.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks
Tom

P.S. if anyone os concerned about rebuilding carbs dont be I am a ham fisted sausage fingered Scot and I have so far managed fine with many thanks for the tutorial and many threads here.

It sits just under the hexed portion of the plunger. You can see it here, just under the guys thumbnail.

I am certain mine dont have those but just off to check again.

Ok definitely no orings on my choke assemblies which tells me the carbs have been messed with before. I guess the next question is would the lack of an o-ring there have caused any issues such as an air leak. New O-rings installed on 1 + 2 hopefully all will be well.

thanks
