If your float valve is in good shape, no need to worry. there is nowhere near enough pressure in that 1/8" fuel line to overcome the carb.(not with just gravity anyway)

Yes you can, I did it for a while until I got a manual petcock. As long as the tank is above the carb, you can do it.

Whoever told you that, told you a boldfaced lie, They most certainly do come without seals . Try www.grainger.com, or go to an industrial supply shop in your area. I bet you can get em cheaper too. I've bought literally thousands of bearings in my career. Personally, I wwould run them open if it were me, No harm leaving them sealed either. Your choice.Did you try partsforscooters or scrappydog?If the seals are steel, leave them alone, If they are vinyl or rubber, take them out. |

I agree with you there. I did'nt tell him to buy those, But I still say remove the seal, clean it out and run it like that . The only possible issue would be If he damages the cage when removing the seal. The bearing will be better off without it. I have done this on a few occasions when an open bearing was not immediately available.I Know bearings, and I know gearboxes. I would not suggest something if I thought It was going to create problems. Truth is, the bearing (in this case ) is better off without the seal.

It Calls for unsealed bearings. Its contantly bathed in oil. sealed bearings are meant for "dusty environments.Beleive me, I've worked on hundreds of gearboxes of all types and sizes. ;D
While you are absolutely right, they are designed that way, they are not designed for this application. they are better in free air, or where they are not constantly oiled.

They are trying to re-invent the wheel. I'll stick with the tried and true conventional DOT approved helmet.(with chin straps)

Remove the seals.Take out as much of the grease as you can. Clean with wd40, and soak it with  weight oil before you put them in.Did you get the wheel off? you need to change that bearing too. ;D |

it's filter paper,designed for the purpose.I think it does a better job of removing particulates from the air, and is not really more restrictive.Iwould trust it more,because with a foam only filter, you need to oil it for it to work right.FOAM does nothing on it's own,it lets a lot through,air and dirt.
