Pump nipples for Walbro Carbs?
Where can I get a nipple to add to the pump cover on a walbro carb and what size tap would I need to thread it?
Thanks
Jim

Thanks guys. Could not find that part number when doing a search at Traxis and Tower no longer carries anything under pressure taps. Any other ideas?

Do a search on google for traxxas parts, click on traxxas replacement parts ( RC planet), Type 5296 in their search block, it will show the 90 degree fitting $3.75. I have one on each of my Wakbro carbs, one on an echo 3900cc & one on an echo 45cc

The nipple for the pump cover is needed on applications that do not have a pulse hole for the fuel pump. For the pump to work, a nipple must be added to the pump cover and a tube run to another nipple on the crankcase of the engine. This will provide a pulse for the fuel pump to work.
Tower has plenty of nipples for different glow engine carburators which I think would also work but I have been unable to find any taps to create the threads. They all seem to be metric.

Here you go: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...ssure+fitting+
On that page they have them from 4-40 size up to 8-32. Any good hardware store should have taps in those sizes.

Hi Jim, Open the tower hobbies in the above post, in the new page that opens you type in the search block, after you clear the fitting search, the tower stock # LXDUY6 that will open the page you need.

Heres the threaded tap from Horizon.
You can do as stated and get a tap for like 3 bucks from Ace,ect...
Or go to one of those low priced tool outlets,H Freight,Auto stores that have the tool display for cheap,ect... and buy a whole tap and die set for under $10.00.
