Single solex for 1600tp. Whilst removing fuel line from intake pipe to float chamber ,the pipe decided to disengage from the carb ,grrr anyway it pushed back seems tight but I don't trust it ,so what would you use to fix it back in this case ? Don't want any parting of ways whilst in full flow as they say ??  |

 I have these in various sizes, they can be crimped with nail pullers if you have some  |

You need some of the fuel resistant locktite Yeah maybe you're right, It happened to me once on one of those new copy Carbs, I just tapped it back in with an hammer, Ran it whilst looking at it from the back to check for leaks, it did'nt leak and stayed ok from then on. Don't copy me thou barn coz yours might not do the same. |

Empi have changed the design and now fit a screw in barbed connector instead of the jammed in pipe, so that's another option for very loose pipes. I'd go with loctite though -jam it in quick or it'll grip before you have it right in.
