[backyardtrouble]

...Hello to everyone....before i go and take my carbs apart...i would like to know if the shafts for the chokes have any o_rings or felt washers...mine seem to be lose between 2 and 4...i have checked the diagrams for roady and honda parts diagram...but they don't show this part....and i really don't want to take it apart if i don't have too.....your help is appreciated.....thanks, Paul.

Yes there are felt washers and its important not to soak in anything that will damage them since I don't think they are available.
I would not take the butterflys or shafts out for this reason and alignment can be tricky.

Are they leaking vacuum?
