Fuel Line into Carb Banjo Bolt

[LOUD MOUSE]

OH YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. ...............lm

I think theres enough lip where i could just clamp a fuel line onto the carb. Would this be ok while a wait to find a new carb? Does the stock banjo bolt set up provide a specific rate of fuel entering the float bowl? Thanks!

I would try epoxying the banjo in to the carb before trying to clamp a hose on the outside of it. Problem is if it leaks, comes loose etc, hot engines and gasoline are not a good combination!

yeah, thats valid advice! I ended up tapping the hole to fit a fuel valve into. Im just gonna hope it works as a I look for a replacement.

I have used this stuff to repair threads. It works if you don't need to torque the bolt real tight.

It's a two part epoxy you put on the stripped threads, there is a release agent that goes on the good threads. After it cures, you can remove the bolt or tighten it. It might be something to try if your solution doesn't work. I wouldn't trust it as a permanent fix. I found it at auto parts stores.
