Like so many I haven't sent anything to this list in quite a while.  Good to

see some messages again.



Since you guys are talking about fuel and such, it got me to thinking about

my fuel system that is now 10 years old.  Have any of you had any problems

at all with your Bing carbs?  Have you rebuilt your carbs, if so what was

done to them; just a general cleanup and new gaskets, etc.?  Just curious,

as I'm about to work on mine, since the engine is just not running as

smoothly as it used to, and I can't find anything else wrong.



Thanks,

Jim Weston

Hi Jim,

I did an inspection of my Bings and replaced the rubber Diaphragm, the 

float needle, the needle jet and main jets

because these are the pieces most prone to wear or damage. I did replace 

all the gaskets, float pivot pins and

did a float check for position.  The foam air filters still need 

replacement.

On smooth running, I'd recommend a close look at distributor shaft run 

out. The other thing is, don't replace

the flyweights in the distributor because that will certainly cause the 

engine to run oddly rough.  I did that thinking

parts were parts and the flyweights are very a specific match to the 

original distributor case.  I had to retrieve the

old flyweights and reinstall them to get back to a smooth running engine.

You could also check the stops on the Bings for alignment. My carbs are 

linked directly on the Throttle shaft

thru a flex link and the stops touch down at the exact same time every 

time. I removed the return springs on my

Bings and a single cable operates both carbs from one throttle link from 

the firewall like any cessna or piper..

Thanks Larry.  I replaced my foam filters with K&N filters several years

ago, so that isn't an issue.  I also replaced the rubber diaphragms about 20

hours ago.  I still have the gasket set that came with them, but I'll need

to order the float needle and seat (assume that it is also replaceable).



Thanks for the tip on the distributor shaft.  I'll check that.  The

flyweights are the originals.



Thanks Again,

Jim
