Reply To: THOR single mixing valve/carb questions

This old thing is leaking just about everywhere!  I sealed the tank that was leaking at the seams.  I need to make a new fuel line and it’s leaking around the adjustment needle to boot!  The threads for the neeedle’s compression nut are buggered up a little, so I need to parse out what the thread count and pitch is there on the mixing valve.  The packing around the needle, in said compression nut is also shot…any suggestions for a replacement?  I was thinking of trying to make a new one out of a thin chunk of leather…
