Post by xivlia » Sat Sep 10, 2011 2:56 pm

Okay ive been searching EVERYWHERE in my town for some 0.5mm washers..the smallest i could find was 5mm....even in halfords and b&q, wickes etc there is none...i looked on ebay, and there are 7mmx0.5mm...im not sure if those are the ones im looking for...i need them for carb rejetting. and i wanna add extra 0.5mm washer on to the needle but i cannot find any...anyone know where i can find some?

Cheers

Hi Ersan,

The easiest way to get hold of some is to contact Rick Oliver who is a member on here. He will be able to sort you out with some. His up to date pricelist is here: http://www.400greybike.com/files/stocklist.doc

It has his phone number and email on there for you to get hold of him.

Sorry but are you aware that they are talking about thickness and not overall diameter???

5mm washers don't exist, that is a spacer.

Try Clas Ohlson (http://www.clasohlson.co.uk) ... it's where I get most of my washers from and I know they do some at 0.5mm thickness 'cos I checked when I serviced my carbs.
