Ben,

I tapped the ID of a Tee fitting to accept the motorcycle carb jet.  Then I screwed the jet into the threaded hole with some Lock-tite to keep it in place.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Fuel system pressure bleed off

 

Group...
   I am installing my fuel system on my Renesis right now. I seem to remember (correct me if I am wrong)  that the consensus was to use a .020 orfice bypass of the regulator to bleed off the pressure in the event of pump prime loss.
My question is, how exactly are some of you going about this? Are you welding an AN fitting shut, then drilling it out to .020? Is there something of this nature commercially available?  Suggestions?  I have only to run the fuel lines, then wire the engine, a few other little misc. items, and I should be ready for first engine start.
