If anyone knows, @OTRAMM does!

New price: Couple good six packs?

Trash it, right? :)

Just so we all have it here, the tubes are tapped in (pressure fit). You can get them out with an ez-out - recommend this one. They're: 1/4" (6.35mm) OD brass 60-degree flute 36.85mm long; 6.85mm is pressed (or tapped) into the upper. I 3D printed a little tool to do this without damaging the...

On an Aisan for a 2F: Just received a carb with a busted vent tube - I can't find a place that sells Aisan vent tubes, but would love a link if that exists. If not: 1. It's broken off inside the carb upper, so it's impossible to grip the exterior of the tube - okay to use an EZ-out to pull the...

My dad swears there are people who prefer to refinish a stock gas tank.... Well I've got one here. I dunno, $100?

Because mine doesn't... Pulled off the shield to show the fuel separator, which had been modified into a closed-loop setup. The checkvalve'd line (which would go to the canister) was instead plumbed into one of the three ports on top of the gas tank. The third ballast in the separator, which...

Just the answer I was looking for. Many thanks.

After troubleshooting "carb" issues forever, I realized the culprit was the fuel tank. Full of sludgey, rusty stuff - the consistency of a good Chinese hot chili oil. Anyway, that stuff made it past the fuel filter, through the pump, and up into the carb. I rebuilt the carb again, and got the...

Thanks Jim - my fault, I should have specified that I was talking about the return line... I've got the correct line going in, I think... Brings me to a related topic, though - anyone selling replica lines from the pump to the carb? Classic Tube is not, can confirm. (I ask because the culprit...

Oh right, duh. I got confused - was thinking of under the accelerator pump. The needle valve still has the tip on it, yep.

Funny, that was my plan - the second clear filter - maybe I'll run new fuel hose to the carb from the pump, too. I've blasted out the needle valve - you think it's necessary to remove that e-clip and ball bearing underneath too, then respray?

Stock metal. And thanks for the earlier suggestions - will do both. Edit: to clarify, it's rubber to the filter, then short rubber to the pump. From pump to carb is the stock metal line.

There's a clear one on there now - I have a new OEM filter but haven't installed it yet (don't want to clog that one too) Here's a crummy shot of the debris in the bottom:

The saga continues - that gunk is in the fuel filter, too. Rusty tank?
