Default Carb Fitting, 90°

Mag 20 motor. Carburetor was a mess. Going the knock off route. Need to install the steel 90 degree inlet elbow for the fuel line. 1/8 NPT threads into the side of the carb. Do you folks recommend any kind of gas/oil resistant pipe dope to use on the threads?

I never put anything on the threads, never leaks.

Steel fitting, aluminum housing. Shouldn't leak. I use an anaerobic sealant just because. Don't need it though.

Most thread sealers state on the can/pkg, would they can be used for.

Personally, I like to put about 1 turn of white teflon pipe tape around the threads. I've never had any leaks so I don't know how much good it does for that, but it seems to give the threads some slickness making the tightening process go smoother. JMO, your's may be different.

With sealant or without, be careful not to over tighten the fitting. It's possible to crack the body of the carb where the fitting screws in. For this reason alone is why I use Teflon tape on my fittings. If the fitting seems slightly loose where I need it positioned, I don't have to risk going around another full turn to get it tight and possibly crack it. The tape will seal it.

Yes it is possible to crack the made in the Jina carb, but a kohler OEM I never had that happen to me.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
