It seems I've inadvertantly started a heated discussion about leaded vs unleaded. Sorry. It is however good to hear that this forum definitely considers lead or its replacements unncessary. I'll stop using the upper valve lubricant additive. As I've used the additive for several months now with no ill effects, I doubt it's causing the problems I've been having since rebuilding the carbs. When I installed the new needle and seats with the two gaskets (1.5mm total thickness), no fuel would enter the carbs. I subsequently reintsalled the original valves and gaskets and have been using them ever since. I have ordered the OEM Solex reuild kits from Mofoco and will install them whe they arrive next week as well as new plugs. Does anybody have the without guesswork books Jim was referring to that they could email or post a copy of? I cann't find copies for sale.
