Help! Pee Wee backplate repair

Post  batjac Wed Jun 19, 2013 1:42 am

Well, I posted this question on RCG a couple of weeks ago, but got several contradictory answers, so I'll come to the experts. I was cleaning up one of the PeeWee .020 engines I just got, and was removing the rock hard fuel pick up tube in the tank for tube and spring replacement. I was pulling on the fuel tube with some needle nose, and instead of the tube coming off, the nipple broke off! What do you experts suggest to repair this?

ouch! You may be able to get a piece of brass or aluminum tubing with the inner diameter the same size as the outer diameter of whats left of the fuel tube nipple. Then use an ice pick, scratch awl or the point of a nail to ever so slightly enlarge the end of the tube then work it over the end of the busted nipple. You could bend a whole new fuel pick up tube or just make a new fuel nipple. If it is a little loose, some fuel resistant epoxy would help.
