rotec tbi broken spray bar

[ken nougaret]

I noticed a slight drop in my idle last weekend. So last night i pulled off my cowling to investigate linkages. Was going to anyway with a planned flight to oshkosh in 2 weeks. I discovered my tbi's mixture arm very loose and it was not rotating the spray bar. I took it apart and found the arm had separated from the spray bar. It appears to just be brazed. Not sure what to do at this point.

It actually appears the inner piece has broken. Since i dont have much to lose im thinking of drilling the center of both pieces to put a small rod or something to provide a solid leg. Maybe glue it. Thoughts?

No replacement parts in the US for these?

No. But i just got off the phone with Paul at Rotec. A new spray bar assembly is on the way. He thought it would only take a couple of days Fedex Express. Might make oshkosh after all.

I might have what you need if you get into a bind. I have a unit similar to what you show on my shelf, it’s from a R2800 radial, but ‘looks’ the same.
