| X333 Small Auto Troubles Book Sept 1 / 12 Jany 1 / 13 indexed under. (Y432) Carburettor Throttle. The method of tightening the Bracket. M993 to the cylinder end & C1802 is too severe in tightening up. and distorts the bearing portion. April 4/13 (Y.433) Re Mfr Playfords, complaint of the boss not being true. This is due to the core and machining. I think this could be avoided by the underneath method and would also do away with the extra side drain plug, and clear the chamber properly of all sediment. and not leave the bulk of the sediment below the drain level. It would also do away with the weak plug M1055 (reported on Oct 18/12) which has often been complained of. [Diagram Labels] float chamber Hexagon head screw. fibre washer Stop screw | ||
