Default RE: kingcat fuel question


ORIGINAL: HORNET FLYER

Thanks for the info guys......my kc has a 120 on the business end, I can only really fly for about 6min.......after the 6min mark the passes get to low lol
Very excited as this is my first kc( older comp arf version i think) also the lines in the tank seem older, it looks like a real flexable line and would like to know where to get some?
Thanks
Paul

Paul,
The inside the tank fuel line is available from BVM. P/N 2804 price $6.00 for three feet. This is by far the best line for inside tank use.
As a note of caution, this line will grow lengthwise about 3/4" with exposure to JetA or kerosene. If the tubing is too long, after it grows, you will have limited clunk action.
Since the jet is an older one, it is possible that the feed tube between the flexible tubing has not been changed from brass to 5/32" stainless steel. The SS tubes are avail form BVM. Use P/N PSTU003 Price is $5.00 for the pair including mailing anywhere within the continental US.

This change was the subject of an addendum in 2006.
The new heavy brass clunk weights are a welcome improvement. They are 2 1/2 times the weight of the old nickle plated clunk weights and fit through the brass adapter fitting. P/N PS-SP-0073 Price is $3.95 per set of two.

Check out the addendums on www.bvmjets.com
click on Jet Kits, KingCat, KingCat AD's, and accomplish any AD's that pertinant to your particular jet.
Hope this information is helpful.
