        Okay so for a complete Useless fellow, what size of tap mumbles and when you have the bolt threaded in in picture two, how do you back it off so you just dont unscrew the bolt from the new threads?

         

        Thanks

          I think I used a 3/8 X 16 tap, not sure. Might have been a  5/16 X 18 though. Just use whatever fits best as you don’t need really deep threads, just enough for the bolt to get some bite.

          The bolt is threaded into the filter and then held still with a wrench while tightening the nut with another wrench., which will draw the filter out.

              One more question, what type of epoxy would you use to hold the filter to the connector?

                you can always remove the tank  filter and install one in-line between the valve and the carb    the small red ones should do …  tons of them on Amazon

                  Thanks Crosbyman, but the brass fuel line from the tank to the carb is pretty short and not really lends it self to adding a filter.

                    Years ago I   had a similar issue with a brass tubing and  managed to replace  the  “carb side”   to adapt to a  fuel hose.

                    I used a automotive brake line  and  threaded fitting   which fit perfectly in the carb threads .

                    I simply cut the brake  line  then  reverse the short…. cut  end….  and reflanged it  on the carb side … added some  jb weld and  voilà  hose nipple

                    except I don’t remember what  I did   on the tank valve… 🙁 🙁            but it worked.   a rubber hose instead of a brass tube …. which you can cut and install a filter

                    automovie brake lines and  end fittingss come with diff. sizes   thread wise                       so if you  choose that option pick the proper  thread size

                      Belzona is my epoxy of choice these days but JB Quick Weld works.
