Tool for making OMC carb needle packings

[olcah]

I recall someone had a nice Youtube video showing how to make a tool to cut out packings for OMC carb needles from gasket material using the tool and a hardwood block.  Should have bookmarked the video as I can not find it now.  Does anyone remember this?

Thanks and Happy New Year.

How about these?

Thank you.  I need to get those.   🙂

There also was a tool that looked like it would be easy on a lathe and would always punch out concentrically.

I don’t know if he has any left, but I was able to purchase one of these tools from Ben about a month ago or so.  The tool works great, punches the packing out very well. I have not had a chance to put the packings to the ultimate test of running the motor and adjusting the carb needles, but from what my newby eyes see I’m thinking everything is going to work well.

I DM’d Ben using Messenger (once my old self figured out how) and he got right back to me.

 

Doesn’t sound like he’s going to continue to make them, perhaps if more folks requested he would take a shot at making another run of them? I wouldn’t turn down a chance to get a 2nd one for a backup.

Thanks
