Carb torque settings

Hi all,

I have a bad habbit of overtorquing and breaking or undertorquing and things falling off. I can't find a torque setting for the Zenith INATs. Any idea?

Thanks

Hard to say, unless you have the special wrench that goes on the 3/8 ratchet. If you do I am not sure that the reading would be accurate.

I used a old 12 mm box and bent it a little, and got them good-n-tight. I also used some gasket cement to limit my desire to tork the crap out of them.

You may be able to find some metric bolts with teflon to keep them in place, that would take some of the worry out of the equation.

Thx Blue,

Never heard of gasket cement. where do you get it?

think some copper gasket spray might also work?

Gasket Cement

I got it at the local parts store. It looks like red rubber cement, it is supposed to stay flexable though.

Very tacky stuff, not in a seafoam green kind of way.

I dont know about the copper spray, I looked at it, but I thought it was for head gaskets and intake to head joint.

I have also used spray paint, very heavy coats on the paper, assemble tacky. A ***** to get off though. :fork_off:
