Subject: RE: VHB 29 rebuild

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the link, may come in handy for future Guzzi and Brand X
projects. All of my diagrams (for 29s and 30s) are in Guzzi manuals,
probably why the o-rings aren't shown. Neither are the washers that back
them. Guzzi "frugality" at work? Cheers,

Thanks Charlie - you're prolly right, but here's the
diagram I was using.

http://www.motorcyclecarbs.com/dellorto/frames/VHBframe.htm

It lists them as 47 - Mixture screw 0-ring, and 49 - stop
screw o-ring. Don't know if there's any difference between
the 29's and 30's.

Hi Tom,
I used the small o-ring in the kit on the idle mixture
screw, but none
on the idle speed/slide stop screw. All of the diagrams
I have don't
show an o-ring in either position, but I decided to use
one on the idle
mixture screw to insure a positive seal. Probably
unneccessary in either
position with the spring tension against the threads.
Cheers,

Actually, I had a related question on VHB 30's. When I
rebuilt mine (with MG Cycle's gasket kits), there were
no
o-rings on the idle mix and idle speed screws, although
they are shown on the VHB 30 parts diagram. Does anyone
know if they are supposed to be there, or is this a
mistake on the diagram, or on the Carbs, or in the kit?
