David,
I have found there are many versions nylon(PA) and some are very tricky... the best bet is to try Overture Easy Nylon which is a low temp version that seems to be giving the best results for me. Many test pieces were made to get the "fill" right to make a leak proof part but now it seem to be repeatable. Also the dimensions of the bore have to be tweaked to end up with a precise fit. I have a trick i'm working on to make this easier and is used with a "post print" annealing process but will share that latter when its all sorted out.
As a single package unit here is my effort so far - have a leak proof workable copy now and am working on printing the last piece which is still a takeoff of the $18 Amazon carb. This is an all in one Pump/regulator/ controller. Some of my test pieces also shown..
I would think your ender is capable of this type of printing with patients and some testing. Nylon is a great filament for RC stuff if you can sort it out.
