Today I was attempting to install the right aft baffle on my IO390 and the fitting for the manifold port I had in place was in the way of the baffle. It was in the way because it is a 45 degree angle fitting. So I pulled off the fitting, and put in a regular AN816-4D fitting. I then looked more closely at the first fitting and it was a VA-128 fitting, which is outfitted with an orifice restrictor--they are $30 from Vans.
So my question(s):
Should i just drill a small hole in an AN470 rivet and put that into the AN816-aD fitting then put the hose on? This has been suggested here on the forums. If so, what size hole?
Or put back in the VA-128 fitting and make sure that is is tightened down to the correct angle so that it is not in the way of the baffle.
thanks
