Thanks Larry. I replaced my foam filters with K&N filters several years
ago, so that isn't an issue. I also replaced the rubber diaphragms about 20
hours ago. I still have the gasket set that came with them, but I'll need
to order the float needle and seat (assume that it is also replaceable).
Thanks for the tip on the distributor shaft. I'll check that. The
flyweights are the originals.
Thanks Again,
Jim

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..
