       Pickup Tube Installation
       By: rayvil01 Date: September 27, 2018, 9:47 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       I'm working on an old Troy Bilt Pony that I bought at a yard
       sale.  It just needed some basic consumable parts.  What I'm
       concerned about is replacing the pickup tube on the Pulsa-Jet
       carb.  Somehow I've never run into one of these.  From what I
       gather the basic technique is to heat the brass tube nipple,
       soak the top of the pickup tube in hot water, then put the
       retainer ring up on the brass, then push the plastic over the
       brass.  Finally, pull the ring back down.
       The question is about the retaining ring.  Does it just slide
       on?  It doesn't look like it.  It looks like it has to be
       expanded so it has spring tension on the plastic.  How does one
       do that?
       Thanks in advance.
       Ray
