fuel inlet filtting

Posted by Mark Graber On 2018/7/14 18:36:24

Hi Guys,

The inlet fitting has bottomed out and leaking. (carter 531S) I've found three possible "fixes" - none ideal.

- high grade epoxy - easy and quick, but probably would ruin the carb as a core in the future.

-drill oversize and tap next size larger - concerned about cracking the case

/self tapping fitting - same concerns as above. Not sure I can find one small enough. I think this is 1/8 npt.


Anybody been here before? Recommendations appreciated,

Mark
