To those with Solex carbs...The little brass 5mm-OD tube for connecting the fuel line onto one of my carbs became loose. Using just my fingers, I was able to pull the tube right out of the hole on the carb. The loose tube was allowing the fuel line connection to leak a little and saturate the outside of my cloth-covered fuel line with gasoline (and exposing me to potential peril). For now, I have jammed the tube more securely into the carb by tapping it very lightly with a small hammer. This seems to have stopped the leak, but is there a better solution? I'm afraid that brass tube will just wiggle itself loose again. -Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
