SU Carb Tickler

Post by jamesmdavis » Sun May 26, 2013 10:06 am

The H4 carb feeding the supercharger on my TC recently shot the tickler pin out of the float bowl lid, spraying fuel everywhere. Upon examination I saw that the circlip had come off. I could not find the spring. Doug Pelton is supplying replacement parts. I noticed that the H2 carbs I have on the shelf have no spring. I suspect my H4 never did have one.

The question to this august forum is: In what order are the circlip/split pin, spring, and pin assembled into the float bowl lid? Many thanks in advance.

Jim, best to get rid of the tickler, it's a fire harzard...seal it off or find a cap without.

Agree with Terry...plug the hole with JB Weld if you can't find another cap.
