RE: O.S. LA 15 carb problems
Regent,
Thanks for the reply. It's early and I'm still waking up so you'll have to forgive my for my confusion. So you discard the black plastic "original equipment spray bar & pressure fitting" all together and create your own spray bar from the copper tubing and JB weld it in place of the black plastic OE spray bar??? To clarify, you take a 2" piece, bend it 90 degrees, estimate the depth into the carb body and then cut it off and create a 45 degree angle on the end going into the carb body at the approximate length, hold it in place and JB weld the copper tube into the original spray bar opening, holding it in place until it's firmed up??? If I'm following you correctly, it would seem like it would work. Taking that idea further, have you ever attempted to drill out the original spray bar housing to the diameter of the copper tubing and used the original body as a guide / shim to hold the tubing in place? Do you have any pictures of one you have done?
Thanks for the idea. I sent out a couple of e-mails to O.S. to see if I can order just the spray bar portion, but haven't heard anything yet. Thanks again.
