Slight issue with carb rebuild

[Aubra]

Well, got my o rings in yesterday and started to put everything back in order today. I ran into a little snag. The fuel inlet T see pic:


Has deteriorated, the metal is in great shape, but the plastic coating is chipped and whatnot. What are my options here? It's starting to warm up and the carbs are on the home stretch of me completing the engine part.

Thanks for your help

Good question...

OH yes...this issue again. Some have mentioned that you can shave the moulded-in ridges off and replace them with the correct size o-rings. I've not done this, however. Somewhere, I thought I read about replacement brass tee's with o-rings...or was that a dream of making a quick fortune? :?

Also check out the link below. It looks like they can be available for some set-ups.

This one might work http://z1enterprises.com/detail.aspx?ID=1910

Measure the one you have and then call Z1 to confirm it will fit. They are very helpful.

I'll get my mic out today and get everything measured out and call them tomorrow. I have to get some things sent out today. I just can't believe someone would chew that piece up that bad.

They look like CV's if you have no luck with Z1 I *may* have a spare...

Mighty fine-looking work on those brass tees, and he is obviously proud of them. ($$$) :shock:

Yeah. The only thing is he knows how to charge. But if your'e desperate at least the parts are available and they would never wear out and need replacing ever again. And hopefully they are made to take the standard size "O" rings that our friend Robert Barr supplies.

[snowbeard]

my memory is fuzzy, but I remember mine having orings, maybe that's the vent tube T?

can you maybe swap the vent tube T with the fuel, replacing the rings on the fuel and not on the vent (since it shouldn't really have to be sealed?)

good luck!
