Broken fuel tap
#1
Got the bank of carbs off last night ready to clean. When I took the fuel pipe off the bottom of the tank, the barbed fitting that the pipe fits onto came out of the fuel tap. It looks like it is a press fit. I applied a small amount of heat with a paint stripper gun to try and soften the fuel pipe a bit but I think this caused the problem in that the 2 metals expanded differently. Am I ok just pushing it back in or should i replace the whole tap?
