Hi all,
While doing an oil change, I pulled the Fuel inlet strainer on the carb (Marvel MA4-5, P/N 10-4161-1) to double check it. I had previously noted it did not have the correct gasket on it, so I wanted to correct that. When I pulled it, I discovered the Fuel stainer screen was kinked pretty badly. It seemed pretty obvious the end of the strainer wasn't fitting into the other end into fuel inlet fitting.
So I pulled the Fuel inlet fitting from the other side and it appears the wrong part was being used. The male end of the strainer does NOT fit inside the opening of the fuel inlet fitting.
I can order both a new screen and the correct inlet fitting from aircraft spruce, but my question is: What thread type and fitting is needed to attach the fuel hose to the fuel inlet fitting? I've searched everywhere and can't find that answer.
Thanks in advance. I would post pics here, but I guess you have to have them online somewhere first.
