watkins Posted April 21, 2006 Report Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) Yes drilling/tapping the carbs is easy... just take it slow. Sweet sig wallrat Edited April 21, 2006 by watkins Quote
jaysea1 Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 Use a drill press. level, and secure the carb on the table of the drill press, lube with wd40 or all purpose oil while drilling and most importantly tapping(3 turns in then back out the tap clean threads, relube etc.) Shave the bosses level, (with a mill file)then take a little more off(just a little) so the idle screw makes good contact with the slide and lifts it up. Follow the directions in the kit carefully, and make all your adjustments after installation(sync the carbs, set the idle) Also after drilling and tapping wash the carbs out and blow em out with compressed air. If you need directions, go to Toomey's web site under tech installations, idle kit. Quote
