 |
|
I need to rotate this 45 degree AN fitting but it is a "little" snug! See picture. Needs to face to the rear. Before I crank it into two pieces, I thought I would ask and see if perhaps the Allen Screw just above the fitting (red arrow) might be locking it in place. I am thinking this is one of the usual carb fittings with an O-Ring that is locked down with the large nut (banjo fitting?) and the 45 degree AN fitting is just clocked 180 degrees from where I need it but it doesn't feel like you can just rotate it an additional 180 without breaking something?
<<...>>
This looks like one of those things that is easy if you know and hard if you don't! Any help appreciated.
Also, I have primer port fittings from Wix with a small pinhole (brass) and some from the Spruce that are basically 2d AN fittings without any restriction. (Came in the primer solenoid kit) Seems like a lot of difference between the two and one would pass a lot more fuel than the other. Any reason to favor one over the other? See pix, sorry for the quality.

Bill,
The fitting assembly in the picture is made up from two adapters. The first adapter has a crush gasket or O ring seal and is seated into the carb. DON'T turn this fitting. The second fitting is a 45 degree NPT to JIC adapter, this is the fitting that can be turned. Hold the first fitting with one wrench and rotate the JIC portion to the correct direction.
I think that I would opt for the pinhole fittings. When a primer line brakes the small pinhole in the fitting will result in a small induction leak. Also the small pinhole also sprays (injects) fuel into a cylinder with an open valve. I don't think that this is possible with the standard port fittings.

Russ has given some good advice on how to adjust the fitting, but this is definitely NOT the place for a "pinhole" fitting. This is the fuel inlet to the carb, and a "pinhole" fitting would not all allow sufficient fuel flow.
The fitting to which the arrow points is not a setscrew, but a pipe plug, just there to seal the hole, which was probably only there to allow access for machining the part during fabrication.
