the kit included a $2 coupon rebate but ordering 5 only gave a $2 rebate….. call me cheap… I expected 5x$2 in rebates 🙂 ho well I should have ordered 5 individual kits 🙂

btw these kits probably have the metric jet which don’t fit but for the price the other parts are fine

The threads on the float valve are not metric but just haven’t been cut deep enough and require chasing with a dye. After chasing the threads, they work great.

[crosbyman]

what thread size dye should I use to shape it ?

my error seems I read not to long ago it was metric… if not well that is great news ..i’ll have a few spares 🙂 I gave up on because they would not screw in the carbs

I will try to recut the threads with my famous “Master Craft” kit 🙂

The threads are 5/16 – 24 and I like to run the it thru the back side of the dye after running it thru from the front side. This way the threads get cut all the way down to the head. The original screwdriver slot is pretty small to so it can get enlarged with a Dremel.

I’ve used some of these style Chinglish kits in the past and haven’t had any problems with them yet, although the motors with them on haven’t been used much. One thing I found besides the float valve threads needing chasing was the plastic washers for the packing washers are too large and I had to use some spare left over ones. Maybe I should pull a carb off and check the condition of the gaskets as It’s been close to a year now.

These cheap kits are also ‘Add On’ items with a purchase of $25 or more. Time to go shopping soon!!

Ordered some of these kits to have a look and give them a try.
Got some for big twins, and some for smaller motors like 18, 10, etc.
As mentioned, the threads on the needle seats required a little work, but otherwise look fine!

Thanks for the “heads-up” guys! Good supply of bits and pieces.

Bill.

P.S. The floats are hollow, instead of being made from foam.
Larger kits seem to be missing the main jet seal.
Smaller kits also contain a fairly large do-nut that looks more like a shift-rod seal?
