[AJD] Carburetor Question

[Bill Brueck]

Not sure the specific application, but if you're talking common packing
material I think there are 2 choices:

for the purists on older equipment, cotton string soaked with soap

for the practical, teflon tape.  Be sure to get the oil/gas tape, the
package is yellow.  The blue package is for sealing water.  Any common
building supply place will have it.  I bought my last roll at Home Depot.

Totally cheap, and totally effective.

Confusion is a higher state of knowledge than ignorance.

While rebuilding my TSX-530 carburetor I noticed that gas leaks slowly from
the power adjusting assembly.  Looks like the packing material between the
brass retaining pieces has deteriorated.  My questions is:  is this part
available or can I fashion it from something else?  If so, what works as a
packing material?

Thanks!
