    Fuel mixture removal question

    I am going to remove my fuel mixture unit to replace the cap & rotor and the impulse coil, I was wanting to know two things. First....Other than the sealing copper washers Part #:102344 is that all I "have" to replace while I have it off? Second.... Can I buy these at a local parts store and if so what is the part #?

    I usually replace the idle tube o ring along with the copper washers. There is also an o ring under the mixture unit that once removed shouldn't be reused. It is also a good idea if you are removing the manifold completely to replace your four m7 retaining bolts at this time with a dab of corrosion protection on the threads.

    The o ring diameter on this is actually very crucial. I was helping an owner in Florida who used a generic o ring kit from harbor freight. If the o ring is just a little too loose installation of the brass bypass tube will pull the oring into the air metering housing. It will look like it is installed but you will have a leak still. If you are going to find a replacement locally keep this in mind.
