  • primer line

    Another Question: I have the primer ready to install, but there doesn't appear to be a port on the gasolator in which to install the intake line. Where else have people installed this line to get a source of fuel?

    Steve, I think you put in a Tee-junction in one of the ports.

      The primer output tube goes into the intake manifold (spider) just above the carb. There is a spray bar that screws in the middle of the straight pipe piece. It puts the fuel right in the middle of the intake.

      Some spiders have two holes (one on each side of this pipe). Yours may just have a plug in it.

      My '41 t-craft, someone just cut the tube off and soldered the end closed.
      Had to buy a replacement spider to install a primer. Ordered the spray bar from Aircraft Spruce.
      The new spider has two holes. I plugged one with a screw. (fine threads, don't remember size)

        ONE OF THESE DAYS I'M GOING TO LEARN TO READ THE NOTE FIRST!!!!!!!
        You're asking about INTAKE, not output. Sorry!

        Yes, put a tee in the gascolator output.
