Ddiggerr Posted March 21, 2021 #1 Posted March 21, 2021 Morning everyone, I was removing carbs yesterday to do a thorough cleaning. Upon removal I heard a snap, but didn't see anything obvious, at first. Once fully removed I noticed one of the drain hoses lying on floor. The hose nipple snapped off the #1 carb drain. I cannot locate a part number for this anywhere. Do these just pull out, or unscrew from there location? I could possibly glue it back together if I can remove the piece without further damage. Thanks
Mach VIII Posted March 31, 2021 #2 Posted March 31, 2021 I did the same thing on my #4 carb. My understanding is that this is not a part that can be bought or generally found separately. I can't say if it's easy to pull and replace one - since I couldn't source a replacement, I didn't bother trying to remove my broken one. I did try repairing it using a bit of a brass pilot (??) jet, then JB Weld'ing it all together. Seemed to hold just fine....until I attempted to reinstall the carb bank. Tried a couple of times, each with the same result, so I just gave up on it. Maybe others will have some better suggestions.

I cannot find a listing for it anywhere, so I am just going to leave it alone. Thanks
