Title: Carb Question
Post by: tdan553527 on February 01, 2005, 08:36:09 AM
So, rejetted me carbs, while putting everything back together I notice that I broke something. Maybe a vacuum hose of some sort, I have an idea, the piece on the left is solid, so I take a small drill bit, same  diameter as the right side piece that I broke, I drilled straight thru the left piece that was solid, spin the whole piece around, and now I have a new place to connect my hose. Now I need to plug up the hole on the broken side, will 5 minute epoxy work, or I'm I wasting my time here and just need to get a new one. Not listed in the microfiche for the 04 model. Where could I get one?

You might try using a vacuum cap, or 1-inch piece of hose with a vacuum plug.

Researching more, check this out. 04 on the left, 02 on the right. bottom picture shows a washer already under the needle, do I still add one or not?
