Oppps... Temp. Sensor... 911

[Guest jedione68]

Hey Guzzi's

 

Well, there's always something that doesn't go right or breaks

on your rebuild. And here's were my "Lady" luck landed.

Just finished putting on the right barrels and heads, made my

torques and adjustments. Then proceeded to re-hook up the oil

lines and TEMP. Sensor and... CRACK. The black plastic that mounts to

your right cyl. for your Termo cracks in half. Now I have two halfs in my hand and a nut (that it was cast onto) stuck in my head and no place to put my sensor.

Any IDEAS out there. I was thinking about using two different size hose

(kind of one inside the other) to re-attach her. Or try Super-Gluing the piece

back together but... I don't know. Also, the nut looks next to impossible to

remove. Any idea's? Ratchet???

Peace,

Go to any welding supply shop and ask for a tube dispensed "liquid" welding product (can't remember the name). It sets up harder than the plastic you are repairing. Much, much better than super glue.

JB weld?

 

It works great on some plastics, but it will not bond to PVC.

What does it bond to?

Virtually any combination of iron, steel, copper, aluminum, brass, bronze, pewter, porcelain, ceramic, marble, glass, PVC & ABS, concrete, fiberglass, wood, fabric, paper -- just about any porous and non-porous material.

I did the smae thing. A quick trip to Ace hardware and I picked up some a brass and copper pipe fittings and made myself one. A little plumbing solder to hold it all together and weeeee. Riding again.
