Thanks Dave L. [Reply]   [No Email]

Those things are in rather short supply anymore, unless of course you go out and buy a pack of cigarettes, and if you only need one butt, wouldn't it be less costly to buy a brake dust seal kit?

Cut off about 1/2" and stuff it into that hole. Put the retainer back in and you're done. You'll have enough of that felt left over to service about 30 more carburetors, or use what is left to seal up the draft at the bottom of your front door. [Reply]  [No Email]
