BROWN FILLER ROD REPLACEMENT

About a month ago I posted some pix about how I replace the ineffective "rod" style flow stopper in a Brown filler on CO2MF, but the photos got sort of cut up in the slide-show. Let me try them here. Eventually I want to edit this material into a tip-sheet.

~IMPORTANT NOTE~

This is a procedure that I am just experimenting with. Don't pound the living shit out of your filler, rendering it useless. Just because it worked for me once, and the underlying principle is sound, has no bearing as to the sucess of subsequent attempts.

SERVICING THE TELCO CHARGER

Telco chargers are alright ~ face it, all the chargers can be somewhat finicky - and frustrating. But the Telco one is strong, has a 2mm nozzle so it fits many of the later model engines except the tiny ones, and one came with every engine sold unlike the Browns and Modelas where it had to be purchased seperately; so there is a lot of them out there. But unlike the others, Telco decided to crimp the nozzle on so the seal, ball and seat could not be inspected or replaced. But fear not . . . click on the link below to view the kit 9-T instruction kit
