idle shut of valve rubber seal

Post by aec »

Overhauling my Pierburg 2E3 with the Brickwerks kit. The idle valve solenoid seal is perished - anyone know where I can get a replacement seal? (it's not part of the kit)

Looking at the brickwerks ad, it shows the seal. I would contact them as it may well have been forgotten to be added to your purchase.

The kit I bought is this one
https://brickwerks.co.uk/product/carb-r ... rburg-2e3/

Looking at the photo, all seems to be present apart from the very large o ring, but I can't see where that would go anyway.
There is an o ring that will fit over the idle cut off, but it's not anything like deep enough to form a seal, so it must be for something else.

I guess I could improvise with a bit of hose or stacked o rings/ rubber washers

Sorry, I missed the kit part of your post. I thought you had bought the idle valve solenoid. :oops:
