Carb problems
First off,I know this is the wrong forum.I am just trying to accomplish this before Sat. so I can drive the Panel to the NC meet.I figured I would get a quick response here.
During my "get it driveable for the NC bb meet" Thrash I decided to replace the fuel filters.I have a 250 inline 6 with the "Monojet" single barrel carb.When i removed the nut/adapter for the in-carb filter,I discovered the dreaded PO repair.The threads were pretty well stripped but had been teflon taped to death to get the carb to not leak.I've had the truck a while but had never removed the in-carb filter. So my question is,"Does anyone have one of these carb nut/adapters they could sell and overnight me?"I'll pay the fees. I even tried ordering a rebuilt carb but delivery is 5 days and that puts it on Mon.2 days after the meet. Just got done checking and found the rebuilts are no longer available,so if anyone has a complete carb shoot me a PM>

Re: Carb problems
Nobody has a carb to sell?I thought with all the 6 to 8 swaps i could find one easy.

Re: Carb problems
Another option is to use one of the expoxy thread restore "form a thread" kits - not great, but would probably get you there and back. You could also try an NPT tap depending on size.
Finally, you could just epoxy in a brass adapter. Not any great solutions - but workable, I think... |
