Choke StoveTube Fitting

Posted by Donald Booth On 2022/7/7 21:18:26

I recently installed a rebuilt carburetor on my 50 Deluxe 8. I had never noticed on the old carburetor that the threaded part of the nipple where the choke stove tube attaches to the carb housing had broken off. The tube had been attached via a piece of rubber hose and clamps and looked legit. 🤷‍♂️ I would prefer to properly connect the tube to the new carburetor, so I'm wondering if anyone who has replaced the stove tube on their car has found a source where the part(s) can be purchased or if they were able to create their own replacement part(s) for the fix. I started my own search for usable substitute parts, but hit a snag right out of the gate trying to find the correct size fitting for the attachment to the carb. I thought I had it with what looked like the correct size compression fitting, only to find that the threads on the carb nipple were finer that the compression fitting I intended to use.

Any help/advice is appreciated.
