 |
|
Anyone know the size/dimensions of the o-ring for the idle adjustment used on fuel injected 76 Bus? Mine is missing completely. I've got an assortment, but not sure how it was intended to seal. Looks like the throttle body is completely threaded. So, I was thinking that if it was supposed to fit inside the threaded area it would be smooth near the top...I'm trying to get the idle to lower. I checked for air leakage elsewhere and this seems to be the logical place to fix...
Thanks!
John

Thanks for the info. SlowLane! That helps determine how it should fit...
