Re: Is (MC) Mixture Control Solenoid SEAL Available for Rochester Carb?

by "Refinish King" <diagnosticman@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Dec 25, 2007 at 07:37 AM

It should have been in the kit!

I've done hundreds of those carbs. You can go to an auto parts stores, and

ask them if they have an assortment of Nitrile O-Rings. Usually green or 
blue.

The black ones won't work well, as the gas softens them up. The black ones

in the kit are made of Viton Rubber, the assortments are usually a cheap 
grade rubber.

I hope this helps.
