you can use some silicone spray lube on the enrichment valves, works great for me. The O rings I would not lube or if you do maybe some silicone greas lube.

can't think of much that would need lubed, anything gas touches would wash right off anyway. does the manual you are reading reccomend it ? if not - don't - no need to repair things that ain't broke.

I use Parker o-ring lub. Most places that sells o-rings should carry it. We use it offshore on the ship.

Trying to break apart all six carbs was hell.  The four rods holding them all together had all kinds of crap growing on them...

A little sanding and a little grease to facilitate future removal was my solution.

Let me be your HuckleBerry!


This is what I used and I found it at Kragens auto , (now O'reilys). about $4.xx should be enough in there for 3-4 total carb rebuilds.. or more.

Worked PERFECT, everything is as smooth as can be imagined.
I have almost 1,000 pictures of all my work from my Multipoint projects list.
