    DC Linkert Idle Tube

    I've been looking for an idle tube for my Linkert DC-12 through friends, Ebay, etc.without success. I haven't found a used OEM tube and it doesn't appear that they're being re-manufactured. From what I can tell, it appears that these tubes are the same for all Sportsters and for 1966 shovelheads. If anyone has one that they'd be willing to sell, I'm certainly interested. If so, please email me directly at WPedalino@Caldwell;Marnine.com.
    Thank You...

                Says it’s a Bendix part, but may be correct for your Linkert.

                    It doesn't look right, Wz507,..

                    (DC on far right in pic.)
                    Late edit: Doh, that's the nozzle. Sorry.

                    It appears to be a simple brass tube, Bill!

                    Unfortunately, I have none currently on the bench to copy, but plenty of 3/16" tubing if you need any.

                      Cotten,
                      Thanks for looking. Yes, it's a simple tube, but it has a swaged sleeve on the bottom that I would have a hard time duplicating.

                        Also, there's a small inlet hole (about 0.027" Dia.) drilled through one side of the tube just above the pressed-on sleeve. The sleeve is closed on one side thus acting as s stop so that the fuel only enters through the side hole and drawn up.

                          Got a pic, Bill?

                          (Next to a ruler would help..)

                          It sounds simple; Can you draw one?

                            Please see the attached sketch - I hope it's inserted (not the most user-friendly system).
                            The measurements shown are as close as I could get using a mechanical Caliper.

                              3/32" brass tubing is available, Bill!

                              But I don't know if any is 1mm bore.
