Hi all,
Following a recent post about rebuilding by HD6 carbs (https://www.britishcarforum.com/bcf...llow-on-questions-from-HD6-carburetor-rebuild) I have been trying to fiit new drain tubes to the inlet manifold on my BT7. I have been able to fit the front one with no trouble, but I have been unable to remove the old nut from the rear one (it just seem to spin round). Off course I now realise that air is getting though the old drain nut and leaning the mixture on my rebuilt carbs.
As a stop gap, untill I can think of a way of removeing the old nut (without having to take the manifold off), I am wondering whether I could block of the hole in the nut and at least allow the carbs to be set up correctly. Is this sensible?
Phil
