local parts store to get a new hose.  All well and good until I
attached the end to the carb base plate, and of course broke the
off the nipple there.  Break is not the word really,..  it
crumbled to pieces!!  In retrospect, I should have been more



A better-than-original fix is to simply cut off the broken nipple,
drill out the hole to accept a 2" piece of 5/16" steel brake line,
and epoxy it in place. It's stronger than the original, cheap,
fast and permanent.
