Stripped fuel inlet
carmantx:
Call Cliff's shop. I know he has some with longer threads.
Cliff Ruggles:
The best repair is a heli-coil installation. For some units that came with very short threaded housings a filter hsg with longer threads will work.
We turn these around in 1-2 days, cost is $45 plus return shipping, and we MUST have the filter housing sent with the carb or we'll have to supply one.....Cliff
Jeffs68:
Thanks Cliff, I'll contact when I'm ready to get this thing shipped out.
Jeffs68:
Update: So, I got my hands on a inlet with longer threads and the Qjet is sealed up nicely now.
Running great!
Cliff Ruggles:
In some cases that will work fine, especially if the original fitting was lacking on thread depth into the casting.....Cliff
