WTB 90 Degree fuel nipple

[Steven Bryant]

I'm after a couple of 90 degree fuel nipples in either plastic or metal, must be m3 thread or similar to fit onto my carb from a Frank Werner K45.

Hi Steven, pm sent.

McMaster Carr is where I get a lot of my 90* fittings.

Ebay rc boats and watercraft section or OSE will have them or try tetra fittings

Thanks guys, I got the size completely wrong it's a 0.157" (4mm) thread and it's definitely not an metric M series I deleive it's a UNC or UNF thread. I've had a look on McMaster and I came find any.

I just got some 4mm from tower that worked in my 21 beta evo.

M4 will unfortunately not fit the carb as it was the first size I tried, I found a 10 32 and tried that but it is just too big. If I can't find one my next option is to drill a hole threw the tub and feed the fuel line threw it.

Re tap hole to 10-32.......

I did think about that Charles, my concern is there is so little material there is a high chance it might split open whilst tapping the hole...

Steven, did you ask frank Werner. He is on the forum as D7. I'm sure he can help you out.

 

[Steven Bryant]

Can you get brass tube and tap die 3.5mm then push curve

 

[Charles Perdue]

If you want to, send it to me and I will make it work.....

I am not afraid of cracking it...just teasing

Steve,

Plug the hole with a 3 mm set screw in the side of the water jacket, and drill a .062" hole

thru the top of the water jacket. It will spray straight up once you start running no need for

a 90 degree water fitting. You can make a nice adjustable water flow valve with a tee fitting

and a 4-40 screw.

Thanks For Reading,

Mark Sholund

Mark,

Steven is talking about the carb fuel fitting, not the water jacket. Take a look at his pic posted and the standard fitting is almost against the tub side.

Steve,

If I was you I would take that carb off and send it to Charles

and let him install a good spraybar and his nice banjo 90 degree

fittings like his Zoom carbs have. He did offer to help you right?

Just A Great Idea,

Mark Sholund

Would a CMB 45 vac carb work on this motor??? If so I can send you one.

Thanks Guys for your help, i have been waiting for a custom carb to be made for this engine so i didn't want to waste any money having it modified, however i'm not sure that is going to happen now so i would appreciate it if Charles can have a look at the carb.

Thanks for the offer Julian, unfortunately the bolt spacing is different so the carb will not fit..........

Steve is sending his carb to me. I should have something to fix him up in my "collections of goodies"
