design fault on stage 6 19mm dellorto carbs

Hi there,

I found the other day my air to fuel mixture screw had threaded after putting the float bowl in,
I ordered a new oneand inserted it and it went to thread again upon further inspection one of the float bowl screws is pertruding through the wall of the thread in the hole the mixture screw goes in.

does this seem like a manufacturing fault to anyone?

have emailed ped parts but they usually take a day or 2 to reply!

cheers

 

do you wind the mixture screw in or out to get more fule

 

out to richen I believe!

But the thing is damaged, I'm un able to rev the bike fully as it will bog down after a few seconds
and cant change mixture really.

 

Shorten the protruding screw?

 

the damage is already done to the threads on the carb, I know it could probably be re cut and could shorten the float bowl screw but its still faulty

 

top mechanic right here for pointing this out to you.. much love

 

sent pictures off to Andy at pedparts
The damage seems like a design or manufacturers fault as it is symmetrical on both sides, there is a hole on the back of the carb no idea what for like!

pictures first 2 are the holes where the screw has came through the carb on both sides
and second is the result one mixture screw nackered and the new one on the way

 

got to send the carb to ped parts guessing for inspection and hopefully get it replaced

 

after forgetting a few time I posted the carb today hopefully will hear back with a replacement or a refund!
