Anyone know what the purpose of the 6/32" soft brass plug is that PROMAX supplies with their six pack center carb metering block? Is it critical? Tonight I've had trouble making it fit into the carb -- hex wrench stripped the center hole of the plug, so now the plug is barely into the carb unit and hanging out rather than fully seated. I think its for the blocking of the vacuum advance port from the carb. Can it be epoxied/closed if I cut it off? Thanks ahead to anyone who can help (I'll try PROMAX Sat morning).

Call promax

I called Proamx sat morng... no answer... left message.... i'm stuck for now til i get an answer on that plug... I know its used for a vacumm from the missing dist advance tube from the new metering block... its the lower left carb hole just to the right of the lower left bolt hole.

thanks

Closed till tuesday

I have that metering block...never came.with no plug...make sure you have the right block...i did get a wrong block first time around...just sayin

Thanks for the tip on the proper metering block, and the questionable plug.

I finally spoke with Ben at Promax... he said the plug is rarely needed only when the carb hole happens to be mis-located... and mine is OK... plug not needed! (they should've said this on their info sheet and it would've saved me the time delay). Issue closed!
