why 2 of these in Cliff's kits?

(1/1)

stevef:
In the kits I've gotten from Cliff, there are 2 of these small black seals/grommets. I realize one is the seal for the choke shaft to carb body hole. What is the other for? Or is it just an extra? Thanks.

77cruiser:
The other might go on the accel. pump.

stevef:
Thanks for the thought, but I've never found one of those on the accelerator pumps of the multiple q-jets I've disassembled, so I don't think one goes there.

Thinking further about it, I believe I've figured it out. I believe the 2nd one goes where the choke shaft goes through the choke housing, in case you take the choke completely apart.

Cliff Ruggles:
If your carb has a "hot air" choke the second one seals the choke shaft inside the housing.  You have to take the hot-air choke apart to install it....

stevef:
Thanks for the confirmation Cliff.
