tilly 314e rebuild

[newjack]

Rebuilding older 314e, has one welch plug easily removed, but second one that is above ball check nozzle is not traditional welch plug. Its brass much smaller, only 1/8 inch and has a very narrow slot for a screw driver but doesnt appear it can be unscrewed and is flush. I thought the brass ones were all pressed in. It appears the check nozzle is good, the ball can be heard when i shake it and air only passes through one way. Should i even bother then to remove it then.

I think what you are describing is the actual top of your nozzle and the slot is for line up purposes, its a press fit .

thanks, just read that somewhere else, it didnt look like that slot was there for a screwdriver to grab, was told if you could blow through it using small tube air should only pass in one direction and no reason to remove it.

You should remove the ball for an alky carb, that standard procedure for them, you don't need it to be a check valve.
