Change your old, brittle plastic inlet to a nice brass one.

Thanks for the tapping and pulling tip. Worked perfectly! Didn’t have metric so I did 1/4 20. I froze brass piece and heated body with heat gun and it went together easy.

That brass inlet probably warmed-up to room temperature between you fingers as you chatted and set-up for the job. I recommend setting-up in advance and also warming-up the carb body with a heat gun for easier results.

Tried it before. Didn’t work. It would only work if you could drive the inlet in within a spit second, otherwise the heated carb body transfers the heat on to the inlet. Yes, in the video it was taking too long. Cause of the filming and talking plus, since I cracked one, I’ve always been extra careful :)

@@aronsgarage834 I understand, it makes sense as the mass of the inlet is so small that the heat would transfer immediately to it. Thank you.

Thanks for the video I've been trying to get it out and with a vice what's on vice and vice grips with no luck after seeing your video I tried it the way you showed that works great

Glad it worked! Good luck fitting the new inlet

Have you thought about chamfering the hole? That will allow perhaps a better starting surface Than milling or filing a flat perpendicular to the diameter to be pressed in on the fitting

It might work but I wouldn’t want to compromise the seal with the press fit. Have you tried it yourself? What I’m planning to do though, is fabricating a tool which will bolt onto the carb and press it in 90 degrees. I already got an L shaped thick steel plate to work with. Will make a video on that when finished.

Good video! Can I use a M6 metric threaded screw for pull out the old bronze inlet? The difference with 1/4 " is very small :)

@aronsgarage834 5 ай бұрын

Yes, of course. They both work :)

Any chance you remember the diameter of the hole so I can find the right brass inlet? Thx

@aronsgarage834 Жыл бұрын

It’s around 19mm if I remember correctly, but can’t tell you precisely as I’m away for a few weeks. I do have a couple of carbs at home so can measure when I get home. (If not too late)
