Linkert DC discharge port
Posted: Tue Sep 28, 2021 6:47 am
Hello Forum,
unfortunately I have to adress a major problem with my Linkert DC-11 -- I was just about to finalize my XLCH build by overhauling the carburetor. For that reason I disassembled the carb and cleaned everything in the ultrasound bath. When I took out the carb and cleaned it with air, this happened to the discharge ports of the idle speed mechanism:
That was the view before ...
After checking I realized, that the body material above the bore is paper-thin (which is abviously a result of the larger bore). I lost every port besides the first one. My solution is to braze a thin metall plate on top (inside) of the ports and rebuild the bore underneath and re-drill the ports. So my question is: Can eventually somone give me the distance and size of the ports? I assume, that originally all ports have the identical diameter and that they are equidistant between each other?
I could take measurements from my DC-6, but as this one is used on my XLH, I dont want to take it off and disassemble it. Eventually someone has a throttle body flying around to take measurements.
Greetings, Ralf
