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..
