VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1912-1928 low speed idle tube RAKX-O Carburetor

Hi can some one tell me how to seal the low speed idle tube in the main carburetor RAKX-O body? The tube is 1/8" dia and the bore hole in the carburetor 9/64" dia.There appears to be an offset between the lower jet intake and upper choke area were the dia is 1/8" which is not inline hence the bigger bore at the bottom
Cheers

The low speed jet tube is 1/8" dia. as is the bore at the bottom and ~1/4" into the top section. It tapers to a smaller diameter which is where the tube seals. If the tube is not the exact length or seated properly in the nut then it will not seal. The tube should be gasoline tight in the bore and air tight at the upper end.
