Anyone else finding these in their BS34s?
This is the second set of carbs I have opened up and found these giant "exploded" rubber plugs. These were originally the plugs over the idle/air orifices. This set has been gone through by someone before and I also found "oversized" o/rings. So anyone else finding these, is it an "aftermarket vender" issue with bad rubber expanding in gas/ethanol? I have opened several other sets of BS34's and the plugs were fine for being thirty year old rubber. These carbs show evidence of this rubber depositing around the carb presumably after dissolving in the gasoline. Any other ideas? Maybe a reaction to some "liquid overhaul" added to the gas? I am leary of buying more aftermarket plugs just to create a repeat performance.
