AFAIK you take the two body halves and use a plate glass with either a
polishing compound or a sheet of very fine sandpaper and rub your heart out
until the casing halves are flat so they will get a good seal. The plate
glass serves to give you a perfectly (as possible) flat plane to polish the
carb halves on.

Subject: LRO: Carb problems on 109 ex military SIII
I sent this message previously and got no response so either you guys are
dead or nobody gives a rats arse.
Installed new Zenith 361v carb to replace old one that was worn and leaking
gas past the O ring seal into the engine resulting in rough-rich running and
no idle no matter how much adjustments were made. The new carb is better but
suffers from the same problem. A thicker O ring helped only slightly. I read
on a LR web site a brief mention of glass plate grinding that may offer help
but no details of this were provided. Can any one expand on this?
Also is there a method of search the list archives for specific information?
Regards
Ross
