[Alpines] S2 gas gauge

[D W Spearing]

Hi Jan,

Here is a photo, which may answer your question. Generally it is a simple
matter of taking the carbs off from the manifold and slipping the nuts and
rings (I now would opt for the Teflon rings) onto the pipes with the "T" in
place.  Then remount the carbs and tighten up the nuts on the "T".  A short
chunk of copper tube in needed to connect the fuel line.  Write back if you
have further questions.

Dave,

How do you connect the "T" to the carbs?

Hi all,

Yes, the brass "T" works fine and it is available in most any hardware store.
I installed it on my S5 over 40 years ago and it is still holding.

I have heard of people using copper compression fittings to connect the
carbs.
Has anyone seen this fix?

Needed help locating an orginal S2 gas gauge. I freed the sending unit from
the evaporating ersgas and years of setting and although they may not be the
correct resistance numbres, at least there is a scale as the float rises and
falls. I wanted to use a S5 gauge but that required wiring in the voltage
stabiliser and knowing the difference in ohms from a S5 sending unit to a
S2 and my Scothish friend prefers we use an orginal gauge which is great with
me- I just want to work on my own projects. Im also having a problem stoping
a
leak between the two S5 carbs- I used an engine from a  S5 parts car which
Hughie had rebuilt but 3 different sets of carbs and they all leaked from the
connecting tube- there has to be a fix Im not aware of. Any suggestions and
help finding a working S2 gas gauge and info on stopping the leak is more
than
appreciated. THANKs in advance,


Tony Lang (TtT)
