Hey guys,

I really need help here. I took out my carb to give it a thorough rundown and cleaning (the first in 25 years). Anyway, I closed it up in a box to take it to our vacation home and my mom turned it over, bending one of the two metal fuel lines leading to the final fuel filters and inlet into the carb (sorry, I don't know the actual terminology. I tried looking at the parts catalog, but it lists it all as one piece). Being a dumbass, I took the two bolts/inlets which the final fuel filter surrounds out, allowing this line to be bent.

Now to the point. Does anyone know where I can get nikki parts, or know anywhere in Oregon where I can get work done? I would really appreciate it.

You could just cut it off after the bend and re flare it. It is just the supply and return lines for fuel. Most likely, you could get away with just putting a hose clamp on and you probably wont have a leak. Other than that, post an ad in the WTB section. I'm sure you will find people with carb parts piling up that will get you going again.

If you cannot straighten the parts then post a WTB ad in the classified section.

For those who responded with kind offers.
I have asked that you guys keep it out of the the threads and pm the member as it states in our rules of the 1st gen section. :-)

if you are looking for nikki parts, try your local junkyards first and get teh parts yourself. if not, as doc suggested, post a want to buy ad in the 1st gen for sale/want to buy section. i'm sure people have them. as a note, the inlet lines are easy to bend, especially if they have a carb to help the process.
