Re: Anzani Pilot Water Tube

[ausf233]

quote Tom Manley:

Is there a break in the water supply tube inside the leg? Or is the water tube one solid piece from the pump housing, up through the leg, and up to the powerhead?

I don’t think twisting and penetrating oil is going to work on this one. If I have to cut the tubing inside the leg and reassemble with a piece of rubber hose, I can do that.

Hi Tom,

Unfortunately there is no break in the water supply tube inside the mid-section/exhaust housing. What I suggest you try if you haven’t done so already, is to apply some heat around the area where the tube enters the water pump housing and continue the twist and pull motion. Needless to say, you should remove the impellor from the pump housing first so as not to melt it.

It’s been a few years since I played with my pilot so I don’t remember all the ins and outs, but you’re welcome to access my photobucket here http://s192.photobucket.com/user/HH565L/library/Anzani?sort=3&page=1 in case there are any photos that may be helpful.

If access is denied there, just shoot me a pm and I’ll search out any photos that may be useful and post them here.

Regards,
Spiro
