Morning all,
I am in the process of fixing some little things on the Bugeye. One
of which is the fuel line routing. I found a pic of where it goes and
so far so good *EXCEPT* that I also found that a DPO had forced a
5/16" fitting into the 1/4" fitting on the intake side of the fuel
pump. So now I need to repair the fuel pump threads.
My first thought is a new mechanical fuel pump but they are
unbotanium I see. Next is helicoil but I find nothing in the right
thread pitch/size. Lastly is using JB Weld or Lab Metal. Anyone have
any thoughts on this or experience.
NOTE:
1. the mechanical fuel pump is there for esthetics only, the diaphragm
has been replaced with aluminum
2. the new fuel line will have the loop of tubing before going into
the pump that is to say NO rubber line before it is held in by the
magic of chemistry..
Thanks as alway6s
