Re: Swapping carbs
Post a picture of your problem, are you sure it's a 416?
The serial number will give us a clear picture of what you should have.

Re: Swapping carbs
It sounds like you have the Amal twin jet 46N carb fitted to yours, give John Williams a call he might have a carb body in stock.

John offers an exchange carb body I believe, with repaired threads.

Re: Swapping carbs
You could re-use your old fibre washers.
Nothing wrong with that in my book.

The problem with my fibre washers are that they aren't fibre, there copper which isn't good at all.
