fairladyz432 2 Report post Posted January 10, 2019 Im having a bit of trouble figuring out how to replace a figure 8 seal that is supposedly under the jet block assembly? This is for a Solex 44phh carburetor i believe is type 5. Apparently the figure 8 seal isn't listed on the main blow up diagram. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

240260280 1,685 1 Vehicles Report post Posted January 10, 2019 To change the o-rings, the centre tower must be removed. A screw on the bottom of the carb secures it. The o-rings seal the centre jet tower to the body. The idle and main circuit emulsions flow through the seals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fairladyz432 2 Report post Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) Thanks for reply, do you know which screws it is? Is it only one? Is it right underneath the area where the jet assembly block is? Do I need to remove the pump diaphragm to gain access? I think I remember seeing it but not sure Edited January 10, 2019 by fairladyz432 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duffymahoney 244 Report post Posted January 10, 2019 If you remove the pump housing, one larger phillips (JIS) screw hold the jet holding block assembly in. It's always a tough screw for me. Probably my least favorite on the carbs. When you install it again, put a tiny bit of grease on the threads. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
