Ohhh Nooo Spaghetti ooooo’s So the 1mm restriction could’ve been causing issues? Shall I bore it out?

finnas Legacy Donating Member 105 Member For: 16y 8m 3d Posted 10/08/21 05:50 AM Posted 10/08/21 05:50 AM Here's min. I did replace the flapper with a 37 or 38mm of ebay too thou.
TomTerritory Member 40 Member For: 5y 2m 29d Posted 10/08/21 06:50 AM Author Posted 10/08/21 06:50 AM Wow, looks good. So to change the flapper you grind it off and weld the new one on?
TomTerritory Member 40 Member For: 5y 2m 29d Posted 11/08/21 10:32 PM Author Posted 11/08/21 10:32 PM Think I need to get the larger flapper, I ground it out slightly too large on one spot. Looked ok, then I shone a light through and can see light coming out in one section. Tested with feeler gauge and its about 0.2 - 0.25mm gap on about 10mm of the circumference. Guessing this will affect spool up if its not fully sealed. Thinking I need to get the 37mm flapper now.

So to change the flapper you grind it off and weld the new one on? Yeah, pretty much. They come with a "bulb" that slides on the shaft of the flapper that you can weld on. That may be a little too large of a gap to not worry about. You may as well get a flapper and take it out to the max while you have it off. Leave a 1mm seat like me. Cost you all of $30-60 depending on where you get it from eBay.
TomTerritory Member 40 Member For: 5y 2m 29d Posted 12/08/21 10:15 AM Author Posted 12/08/21 10:15 AM Yep ordered one today. Paid a bit more than that though through mtq. Just wanted to get it tomorrow so I can get it sorted over the weekend!

I’m just about giving up on this and looking at buying a new housing. Carefully ground off the old flapper, put the new 37mm flapper in and it catches on the side of the housing? It’s too big.
