Loose booster in dominator

[Dave Jung]

I have a 1050 dominator with a loose booster. It falls right out if you tip the carb upside down. What is the best way to repair this? It doesn't look damaged. Thanks in advance.

small pin punch and "gently stake it " into position

there should be a brass tube inserted into the booster through the body of the carb - if it's loose or missing they are easily replaced.

thanks for the responses guys. Quick update, I dissassembled the carb and there was no tube through the main body holding the booster in place on any of them. I then took a small auto center punch and carefully punched a series of them in the booster and the carb body where it presses in. I then tapped the booster in place and it is good as new.

They need to have booster pins/ booster stake tubes in them. You can get them from BLP, ask for the .160 ID pins, they are not expensive. I use a 1/4 brass punch to drive them in. You really need them, they set the passage diameter to the booster. It will run without them, but not as well.

Thanks for responding. Why would they be missing? Would someone take them out or do they not come from the factory with them? Who is BLP?

You can't run that carb on the stocker Dave

Not sure why it came out, most you have to use significant force to pull out. I have seen one run without the booster pin, not a good thing to do though. I converted a carb to E85 for someone, and when we took the borrowed carb off and turned it over to drain the fuel the booster came out...
