BenBB Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 when this happens most people think your screwed but with the right machine that hardened tap can easily and quickly be desintagrated with out any heat warpage or harm to the fine soft aluminum threads ,this machine is called ram EDM No shit?? I stand corrected thanks :thumbsup: LOL magz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeblue01 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Was he running the tap dry? You should always use cutting oil or at least some wd-40 when tapping. turn tap in 1 turn back out 1/2 turn until all the way in. Most of the time a broken tap is operator error. sorry man. Same thing happened to me. I was running the tap dry because I figured it would be alright seeing as it was aluminum. I was wrong. Is the tap sitting in the bore of the carb? If not (mine wasnt) I just sealed mine up, so it wouldn't pull any vacuum, and kept the tors on it for a while. I have a 2-1 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeblue01 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Yeah, I would be on that builders ass followed by Vito's thereafter! Hardend Steel taps dont snapin aluminium bro... Mine did. bro.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjv420 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 (edited) If you were running the tap dry and you tell vito's that they will more than likely give you no sympathy. I just tapped my new carbs (thanks deerekiller) the other day. Tapped them dry and used a pair of pliers to turn the tap, all went well for me that time but it was very nerve racking. When I tapped my old carbs the tap that came with the kit could be used in a drill, I just drilled the tap into the carb on low gear and ran it back out and I was good to go.

jbooker82 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 well guys, thanks for the info. I just broke down and bought 34mm pj's for her this mornin' :biggrin: You could have at least got some PWK's instead of the PJ's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimbAnyHill Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I didn't read the whole thread.. If you need, I have an uppper carb body for some bux. I'll even tap and thread it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdhc500 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 If thier run thru dry they will ! thats a small tap with lots of resistance when used dry . You know you are right... I wasnt realizing just how tiny they are. I used to work at a shot that tapped aluminium pump housings on agricultural sprayers... Stuff was 3/8 to 1/2 inch and it wasnt snapping wet or dry in aluminium... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DopeyTripod Posted August 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 You could have at least got some PWK's instead of the PJ's. whats the major difference?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 whats the major difference?? The PJ uses an oval shaped slide and the PWK's use a thinner D Shaped slide for Better throttle responce. The Idle adjustment on PWK's is a scew that lifts the slide, on the PJ's you have to turn the choak nob to set the idle. PWK's tune a little easier than PJ's. The Pj is just an older designe carb. It will work fine once you get it setup. The PWK's are just a new design that works better. Make sure you get a carb sync from fast. That will help you sync the idle ajustments, and carb top adjustmens a whole lot easier. josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooker82 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 You will still see a performace increase with the PJ's there are guys running them on here. The PWK is just a newer designed carb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
