Ring question...was Re: Carb problem need help

["Tom Casey" <ragtop88@domain.elided>]

What size are the rings??  I have a Federal Mogul account and can look it up
when I get home.  They make rebuild kits for everything and they have some
triumph stuff available (err actually British Leyland I guess is the engine
manufacturer??)  I don't have a multi million dollar business, just
something small on the side that I use for my own projects and fellow
mailing list (4 of them) members and such...although I would sell to
anybody...I just don't push it. Grad school is busy enough.
