Title: Fibre washers
Post by: Devlin on 27.05. 2023 16:41

I saw a post from 10 years back about leather washers from a plubers merchant for the main jet holder, mine is leaking and none of the washers from the pack supplied from (yeah you know who you are ) were anywhere near the correct things, where can I get a reliable kit

Hi try Burlens or Surrey Cycles. But before you give upon fibre washers did you soak them in oil before using them ? Always had to do this as an apprentice and still do it now. Hope this helps .dave

Good tip on the soaking fibre washers in oil, thanks for that.
