Throttle spindle sealing

[javahouse]

Hi

Apologies if this has been done already, but are the bottom seals on the throttle spindle available and easy to swap. I've definitely got a small leak there, and seeing as it's still not running 100% I thought I'd sort it out.

Also, is there a exploded drawing anywhere? the one in the parts book doesn't appear to show or list them.

 

Thanks

I did it. There are four of them, same seal at the top. Look at this.

 

I don't know of any drawings but it's fairly straightforward. After removing the screws holding the plates to the spindle, you need to file down the spindle so it don't damage the throttle body when removing it.

You may be able to replace the seals without removing throttle plates and spindle from the body. I think that may be better but then you will need to find an 8 mm Starlock washer as mentioned in that thread, because they can't be reused.

 

Do one at a time. Mark the plate with a pen before removing it (which side is up, and which side is downstream). I googled some generic descriptions of similar work and most of it was applicable.

Thanks, and apologies for late response - I went on hollidays.

I read the article you wrote and sounds straightforward. I will order the parts and try it.

Many thanks
