Having now discussed this with a couple of experienced guys at the club, the plan is to fit the regulator then plug the other bushes and pressure test it to see if I really need to remove the broken taps. Thanks for the comment. 🙂
a lot of companies dont hold stock anymore, they rely on their supplier having stock, when the 1 supplier runs out of stock- nobody has stock. same with boating, we were after a fuel injector for a nanni engine- everyone showed it in stock, when contacted they then phoned the suppliers, who didnt have any in stock, thus all the companies in the country were out of stock because the one supplier was out- turned out that the engine is a common kubota block and if you want kubota part, it was a fraction of the price- and dozens available.
The most annoying part about it is that with time on your hands you can go hunting for a supplier but when you think you've found one, you discover it's only another link a chain. If only businesses were more open about their lead times.
@@floydraser4603 yes, all the companies that advertised they could get the part came back after 20 minutes and all of them said their supplier had none (Peachments). Peachments also said it was impossible to get parts for the 3 cylinder nanni- so we would need to buy a whole new engine, yet the kubota supplier said that the little 3 cylinder was one of the most widely used in site plant that there was a ton of parts for them (the kubota dealer also came in with the full list of parts for less than the nanni dealer quoted for just one part.
Don’t give up on the engine, steam can be frustrating some days especially when things break like taps but there is always a solution
