Members of my club and I fly SSC using OS LA .15 engines. With the "occasional" mid-air collision and the yard darts that result, we have seen a problem with the small black plastic "spray bar and pressure fitting" that fits into the side of the carb on the LA 15 engine. In some of those mid air paint transfers, the fuel inlet nipple breaks off or the black plastic spray bar snaps off at the carb, or they just fall out. In order to make the engine usable again, you have to replace the entire carb ($22.99) or the carb housing ($11.99) which comes with the spray bar and pressure fitting (probably about $.10 of plastic), and then take everything off the old carb and switch them out and hope you can get it back running after changing all the idle settings. Has anyone else encountered this problem, and does anyone know if there is a better solution to replacing the failed piece with the same piece that's just waiting to fail???

Thanks
