Fuel miser is one brand. Make sure the pump plunger is leather, not plastic.

Fuel Miser are not bad, though the pump arm is not correct (it is a red motor pump arm, and sloppy on a grey) and the base gasket is also not correct (SAE2 instead of SAE1). Carb Service Co in Burwood used to supply the correct arms and gaskets (and lost motion kits) but I understand they have now closed up. Sad day.

Cheers,

OK ..thanks , someone still makes leather plunger seals , I would have thought later seals would be Nitrile rubber not plastic , i'll watch out for that Harv as it something I didn't consider ...also I thought the difference in the arms is the red motor arm is longer , I am not aware of " fit " difference , what it is thinner ?  ..thanks Vern ..

They may well be nitrile Vern but my carby guy says no good.

This hopefully shows the bits that are not quite right in the FuelMiser kit.

Bottom (green) gasket is the correct size for the grey motor BXOV1. The (grey) gaskets supplied in the FuelMiser kits are for the larger BX carbs.





(lookit all them leftover gaskets... a misspent youth overhauling BXOV1's ).

The plain steel pump arm is for the BXOV1, whilst the cad-plated ones supplied in the FuelMiser kits are for the later carbs. The difference is in the rectangular mounting hole - that cad plated hole is too large, and gives shaft slop. Normally the slop (from the round pump link hole being flogged out) is what you are trying to cure. The steel one shows a fair bit of slop.





(there is a pile of those cad-plated arms here too).

Cheers,
