WTB: OM617 Timing Drip Tube

I am looking for a timing drip tube for my om617. I have heard that they can be made out of a fuel line as well. So, I would also take a fuel line that I can modify. What do these normally run for price?

Thanks,

Mike

I really don't know what they are worth to be honest. How about $20 shipped via priority mail, and funds sent through paypal?

Alternatively an old bit of injector line at the scrap heap can be shaped to form a drip tube with little more than a hacksaw.

And a file to deburr the edges. I's hard to read the drip rate when your hand is dripping blood form the #@!$%#@^ burrs.

Any injector line that fits the threads will work. I made mine from a 60's Allis Chalmer's injector line.

Now that's a classy drip tube (even with burrs on)

There are no junk yards around here with W123's. I would gladly buy a line and make one myself.

I don`t have a drip tube to sell, but have a fuel line I could send if nothing else comes up.

And here is a picture of an “official” drip tube. The squares are 10 x 10 mm (0.394 x 0.394 inch).

PM me, as I don`t get in this section very often.
