TBI Air Cleaner Stud
I feel like this should be an easy thing to find but dang if I can't get a local parts place to source this part for me.
Is there a web resource I can go to to order just the air cleaner stud for my TBI unit? It's become stripped from all the times I've tightened the air cleaner off and on the top of the motor.
Don't hate me for the silly question!

Re: TBI Air Cleaner Stud
TBI doesn't use a normal carburetor air cleaner stud?

Mine is not straight. Makes two 90* turns before heading out the top of the air cleaner.

Re: TBI Air Cleaner Stud
some have done the "all thread" from a home inprovemnet store. it's just a threded rod then you put it in a vise and bend it the way you want it to go. becareful of the top and bittom threads though.

Re: TBI Air Cleaner Stud
I found one on Jeg's
http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...0002_370365_-1
If the link doesn't work just search "TBI stud"
It's only $4!

For Pete's sake. Thanks for the clue though.
I'm wondering about rethreading the stud... that's possible, no?
