| These trick
new newly released Quick Release Connectors are just the ticket when you
want to be able to remove & install your FC System, for engine
maintenance or whatever the case may be. The problem with most connectors
out there for this purpose, is the fact that 1, they don't seal the
greatest unless there is pressure in the line, 2, if there isn't pressure
in the line they can in some cases vibrate loose, 3, they many times are
not for a hot environment, 4, they aren't to be used around fuel vapors.
These Black, composite fittings release simply with finger pressure
pushing the outer lip of the fitting, in toward the center of the
fitting. The other thing that makes them somewhat unique is that
they have an internal thin-wall brass tube arrangement that fits inside
the tubing as well, ensuring a good alignment & seal. The elbow really
helps when you want to make a 90 deg. bend, & don't have much room to
do it. These fittings are also very
low profile. They assemble by simply pushing the tubing into the fitting
by hand, with light pressure.
The straight brass connector is more of a permanent fitting, used when you won't have a need to assemble & disassemble for unrelated to the FC reasons frequently. Or, in some cases, it may be easier to do the installation with them as it may be easier to install the tubing onto the carbs, then the FC, install the system, then attach the two pieces. This is especially true in some of the Side Draft Carb Set-Ups. Restriction Problems? No! Some of you may be wondering about restriction problems. There are none!! The fittings are such that they have an extra large ID, for the size tubing they are for. The Composite Quick-Release Fittings have an internal ID of approx. 3mm. The Brass couplers have an ID of approx. 3.25 mm. It's very rare to have an air restriction in the carbs in the pilot or mains larger than approx. 1.5mm OEM carbs, and 2mm in race carbs, so you are always under that size. You may, depending on the system/model you have, need to richen the FC adjustment a quarter turn or so, to maintain your adjustment, but it's never a problem. We can tell you when you order the fittings if you should enrichen the adjustment slightly. However, it is important that you keep ea. line as equal as possible, especially with carbs that do have a fairly large restriction size. So, just as a precaution, it only makes sense to use one of the same fittings in ea. line, if you want the very best operational performance as possible.
