Gold FFM thebartman 130 Posted February 18 Gold FFM Report Share Posted February 18 I was doing some carb balancing today - and upon tidying up, noticed the highlighted bolt was wet. It WAS petrol. Does this bolt regularly come loose? and how can I prevent this whilst still being able to undo it as and when required? As usual, TIA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snowrx 204 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Doubtless there is (should be) a fiber or soft metal washer to seal that jet cover. Maybe a little sealant on the existing until the parts get in?

Don't worry @Sparky , confession noted and stowed away for future 🤣 I'm sure these things do come loose - my question was really about the best practice to resolve any potential recurrence. I know there are all sorts of threadlocks around, but then if needed, I won't be able to undo it .... I presume these would do? https://www.amazon.co.uk/FIXMAN-871854-Washers-110pce-Multi-Colour/dp/B01M7SMLQX/ref=sr_1_5?adgrpid=52856542533&dchild=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiApsiBBhCKARIsAN8o_4jH8bY5ltJxDVOA16XzVMmSWg71b-i2UsyQFoNpjKNjiUd7kYX7VWAaArcfEALw_wcB&hvadid=259013649561&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9046142&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=b&hvrand=12826543362092649012&hvtargid=kwd-304082351414&hydadcr=26245_1767763&keywords=fibre+washers+set&qid=1613927143&sr=8-5&tag=googhydr-21 @snowrx - I hear that message - and it's already the subject of some research. @Dan E - Like the idea - but there's no lawyer that does Pro Bono 😉 Let's just have some of his cellar contents when we're allowed to 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
