Sup guys,
Last night I went to put the 125 shot jets in and I have a big problem. BTW it's for a TBI. The threads on the back side of the plate (male fitting) are stripped to all hell. I must have cross threaded them while tightening. So, after kicking and screaming I decided to try and find a solution. I looked at the plate and arrived at a conclusion that this piece was irreplaceable and that I needed a whole new plate. So I put the jet in and JB welded the crap out of the AN fiting onto the now stripped threads. I turned it until it was as tight as it would get without turning loose again.
This morning, I checked it out and everything was dried up. I hit the button and now it's leaking from the rear of the AN fitting....but not from the threaded part. So, I'm going to JB weld the crap out of the rear part of the AN fiting now.
If this were to seal properly, will my nitrous shot be just as effective or not? The flare is right on the jet, but it's just not as tight as it should be I guess. And the N2o has nowhere else to go but throught the rear of the AN fiting. Please help w/ opinions, etc. thanks

 

Ohh, it's too late for me now, but in case this happens to you (knock on wood) I think I have a sure fire solution. Cut/grind the AN fitting of of the line. JB weld the jet to the flare of the line, then JB weld the jet(w/ now attached line) to the plate. I wish I would have thought of this earlier. It seems like it would have worked. Of course, you'd be stuck w/ that shot forever.

 

i would have just hilicoilded it

I don't think you can heli-coil male fittings.........just females. Anyone else????

 

I wish I could help but I haven't gotten into the No2 thing yet. Keyword is yet. I've just started looking into EPROM burning and then I hope to have saved up enough for a 125 shot this summer. If it were me I would have sent the part back and payed for a new one. Last thing you want is a piece falling into the engine. Good luck!
