I saved 2 or 3 of the discharge tubes that I broke. I noticed the soldered joint had been broken. On at least one of them, I pushed the elbow back in place and friction held it in place. I wonder if anyone has tried to resolder these. I even thought about dabbing a small spot of JB Weld on the joint. Trouble is, I don't quite understand what these discharge nozzles do. I noticed there is one tiny hole on the tube base of the nozzle and I presume it emulsifies gasoline. Do the elbows act as deflectors that should not be repaired or attempted to be. Also, the rectangular slot machined into the top of the nozzles appears to be a possible passageway for fuel. Maybe someone who has repaired these will chime in.I would not recommend JB Weld at that area. Resoldering is an option but it’s going to take better eyesight than mine to make that happen.
