Sorry if this question has been answered in the last week, I am waay behind on MG mail (out-of-town trip). What's the approximate viscosity of the carb damper fluid which comes in those niftly little

Can't speak to the the bottled stuff, but I've been using 3-in-1 oil in my carb dampers since day one with my '64 B. Totally unscientific, mind you, as that's what the PO was using, and as it seemed

Eric sez: **GONG!!!** Just backwards, in this case. 20w50 acts like a 20 weight at 0 C, and a 50 weight at 100 C. But it *doesn't* get more viscous at increasing temperature! Right. True of just abou

I have always used mineral oil. It is very light weight, maybe equivalent to 10 weight and can be found in many stores. I have used it for my SU carbs as well as shocks. I have to admit that it may b

From the discussion so far, sounds like people are successfully using many different fluids. (anyone using water ?:) My understanding of the function of the damper fluid is to keep the piston from mo

I have used the automatic transmission fluid over the years in various carb dashpots and liked using it because of it's viscosity and red color. However, maybe because the carbs are getting older an

Although this seems to work fine in the HS2 carbs in the Spitfire, it does NOT give me a decent accellerator pump effect in the HIF4s in the MG. I purchased a tiny bottle of SU damper fluid for $7, a

Water seems like it would have the advantage of having nearly the same viscosity over a wide range of temperatures -- unless it froze or boiled! Just normal evaporation could be something of a proble
