Anti run-on valve

[Steve]

Whilst putting things back together following a recent repair, I tried to cut corners and in doing so I damaged the anti run-on valve. There is a black plastic part to the valve, which has two moulded "studs" (for want of a better word) for the rubber pipes to push on to. I broke one of these off. I tried superglue, but it didn't seem to hold very well (maybe I didn't leave it to sit for long enough) so does anyone have any suggestions or should I just bite the bullet and order a new one ($45 from Moss). The car is running on. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

You could always try epoxy glue, but you're probably going to have to buy a new one.
In the meantime, when you shut off the engine, keep your foot on the brake and let the clutch out as you're shutting it off. The engine will stall before it runs on.

I bought one on Ebay a while ago for $10. They are there from time to time. If I ever get a chance to put it in, I will be selling the old one...works fine, just has a little paint overspray on it, which is why I haven't been in any hurry.

I did the same thing with mine. Eight different types of glues would not work when re-attatching the hose. I then bore out the hole where the nipple broke off of to slightly larger then the nipple, fit it into the just reamed out hole, then used goop around it. It has held for three months now.

Get a small brass fitting with tapered threads on one end and a rubber hose fitting on the other end. Cut the remainder of the 'stud' off short. Drill carefully to enlarge the hole to accept the brass tapered threads for a few turns. Smear some epoxy on the fitting before threading it in and it should be better than new. Lots of luck.
