(Simon Bromiley) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 02:48:22 PM PST US From: "Bill Schlatterer" Subject: RV7-List: Carb Fittings? Primer fittings? 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.
