Quadrajet fuel inlet/fuel line

[ormjgrouch]

Had to cut the metal fuel line, now i can't get the fuel line seperated from the fuel inlet. heated teh sucker up for 5 minutes still won't budge. Should i just buy a new inlet or keep working it?

Heat might not help,put it in a vice,but not to tight as it will squish it out of round,clamp your vice grip to it and it should go e loose.
Good luck!
Ah after looking you already used the vice..... Buy a new inlet,the old one was probbally over tightened anyway.

Get the model number of your carb and ask them. Some may have it, some may not. It's not a marine only part if that's what you are asking.

Bet you could also go to a carb rebuilding shop, and get a carefully used one for a song.
If you strike completely out, send me a PM and I can drop one in the mail.
