Hi all, where the fuel pipe from my left hand carb joins my fuel tap, the spigot that the pipe pushes onto can twist and just pull out, I was thinking if it fell out while riding, there would be petrol and flames everywhere, so I was thinking of gluing it into place, has this ever happened to anyone? My bike is a S3a

Hi
Have had it happen on a carb or two.
You didn't mention whether it was a pattern part or original equipment.
I tended to gently tap back into place, then try to twist out by hand.
Mr Tango will be able to help you.

Load the spigot (not the tap body) with Epoxy then tap it back in..
