Title: PWK carb replacement gaskets
Post by: cbxracer30 on October 03, 2011, 11:26:26 AM

I have alot of guys looking for replacement Orings for the center of the PWK carbs , guys are having carb issues and finding that the Orings between the carb body and the center section that holds the jets , has turned to mush and extra fuel is being sucked through at wide open throttle. So I spoke with Cometic today about them coming up with a replacement Oring/gasket kit for the 36 to 39.5 pwk/pwm carbs. What I'm wondering is how many guys on here are looking or interested in purchasing such a kit. I'm going to send them carbs to see what think , hopefully we can come up with an inexpensive fix compared to purchasing a new carb.CBX

Hey CBX,
I don't see a pic for the PWK 39 but there is a kit available. (I think)
 These guys might have what you are looking for.

Close good Friar but no cigar . The oring we are looking for is the one between the carb body and the bolt in part that holds the jets . No one seems to carry it. The ethanol in todays fuel is turning these into mush. CBX
