Seems they usually dry rot and fall apart. Its simply a rubber bushing that sits in the carb. body(7043272) behind the choke housing .Any special bushing or name its called. Seen alot of them again just fall apart after a while!! Help!!!
-
We include 2 of those will each carb kit where a hot air or electric choke was used....Cliff
-
We may be talking 2 differant area,s this fits inside bowl where choke arm comes thru. Not the little small ones
Just measured one, its 9/16 o.d. backside is .500 witch fits inside bowl.

Some hot air carbs have those that I run across, but many don't. It's more of a hard plastic spacer isn't it? I have not removed them, and not had one broken up so I haven't needed to source it.

The choke housing seal for the vacuum supply is not rubber, it's hard plastic.
The seal for the shaft is a rubber lip seal. There is another one in the choke housing. Both should be replaced during rebuilding as the rubber goes bad over the years and you can get a leak in the system.
If an electric choke is being used, you can leave out the rubber seal in the choke housing, it is not needed, but still install the one between the housing and the carb to seal off where the shaft goes thru.....Cliff

I don't believe there is a part number that part. More than likely, you will have to find a junk core. :(

Ethan1 sorry for asking this way but are you speaking for Mr.Ruggles also?? Don,t get offended, just asking, Thanks
-
I still don't know which part you want?
In the first thread you said "rubber bushing". There are no "rubber" bushings used between a choke housing and main casting.
There is a plastic seal on the lower right corner to seal off vacuum for the hot air choke supply.
There is a rubber seal where the shaft goes thru the main casting, and another rubber seal inside the choke housing to seal off vacuum for the choke shaft.
I have all those parts in stock.....Cliff

I would post a photo, Cliff, but when "someone" makes a smart@ss comment like above yours, forget about it. Sorry, Cliff. :(
-
Are you serious, i don,t even know who you are?? I know Mr. Ruggles, & i even stated don,t take it wrong, You need to chill! I need the plastic piece where choke arm goes into carb. body.
-
Choke arm or choke housing? The plastic choke seal is probably the part that you are looking for, we have them new in stock.....Cliff
-
I believe this is what Mr. Pontiac is referring to, Cliff:
Not the best photo, but you can see the "spacer" or "bushing". I do not believe it is a seal, but could be wrong.
-
If he's looking for the part that holds the rubber seal they are not available unless you get one from a used carburetor.
They used a plastic part there on early Old's and Pontiac carbs with hot air chokes, 1975 and later carbs use a metal part at that location....Cliff
