.602 tech tool design

Just having fun with my CAD/CAM program. This is my design for a tech tool that checks the carb for the .602 specification. It's designed so that you don't have to have the handle at a perfect 90° to the bore. It's designed with a .6021" tolerance. It's a no go gauge.

As with most any type of 2-point tool to check/measure a bore, it's relatively simple to defeat: just make the (carb) bore slightly tri-lobed.

Just looked it up... 3 different no-go gauges required just to check the front and back side of that venturi? Yikes! :oops:

that is the way I made mine back when I was a WKA tech man - circa 1995
found a bunch of "oval" shape restrictor plates that the "plug gage" let by.

While we are still discussing the no go gauges, we still need to know what is the tech correct no go gauge + amount on the .602 gauge? Is it .602000, .6021, .6022, .6025.................etc or what? Just a very small amount like .0002" can make a carb bore be in spec or be a DQ! I've seen this in the tech barn over the years. The true actual gauge spec dimension is the most important part when a no go or a go gauge is being used in the tech barn.

On a side note tech men should be properly trained how to use a no go gage.........Ive seen them push ( or wiggle ) the gauge thru the hole! Not good!!

When their thumb turns blue, you know you've got trouble. ;)

There is training available...Tech seminars are conducted annually at Sevierville, TN & Wilmington, OH. Contact Lewis Stout for more details.
