Default G38 Carb Adapter Material

Does anyone know why I can't make my carb adapter out of aluminum?

WIll it sink too much heat from the cylinder to the carb?

I have had two different adapters go south on me. Both of them had the thread inserts pull out.

Thanks!

Patrick

Default Re: G38 Carb Adapter Material

If your pulling threads out.....it sounds as if you are over tightening the bolts. Have you followed the mfg's torque specs?

I wasn't even able to apply the correct amount of torque to even reach the required amount!

Thanks.
