whats missing?

[peterhankinson]

hi all

was putting the clamps on my cv carbs and noticed a hole in the side which you can see the screw thread ? question should it be like that,should it have a cap/plug covering the hole, will it affect the running of the carbs ? any ideas ...peter

Good question... I'm sure if anything, it may need a brass plug threaded in. I'de have to take a look on my carbs to know for sure, but nothing to my knowledge is plumbed there.

That hole is open on mine.

I just looked at the two racks of 850 carbs that I have loose here.

On one rack, 3&4 have plugs in the holes, 1&2 do not.

On the other rack, #2 is the only one with a plug.

Evidently it makes no difference, as long as it's a blind hole.

Hey, you are just up the road from me !. Was beginning to wonder if I was the only one on here from the north east !. That hole is open on the carbs on my two GS750`s, also on my spares too.

That bore is open on my guinea pig set as well.

... and I know what you mean; I spent two years in the UK in the late 70's, and the taxes were just unbelievable. I knew right away what that Beetles tune was about.

We rented a little farmhouse that had a TV antenna. We were supposed to pay TAX on it (the antenna) if we wanted to connect a television to it. There was one rate for B/W and another for color.

We decided to take the risk...

The hole with the E-clip should have a cap over it.
