Roger Lee Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Hi All, Just an FYI and did you know! The banjo bolt on our Rotax are yellow in color. The reason for this was from being treated with a corrosion resistant yellow dye. Not any more. The yellow dye is poisonous and now not allowed in Europe so the new banjo bolt from Rotax are silver colored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx Markus Markus, I am a native English speaker, and I have no idea what a banjo nut is, either. :-) Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Lee Posted September 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Hi All, Thanks for the picture Jaak. The Rotax has a couple of banjo bolts. You have 1-2 on top of the fuel line cross over tube and one really big one on the bottom of the engine for the oil. It is a bolt that has a hole drill through it length wise and then up by the head a cross wise hole. This allows any fluid to pass through the bolt and into a line or hose.

FlyRatz Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Ah, I see clear now about banjo bolts. Thanks a lot for the private lesson :D Please allow one more little question. As far as I understand, a nut is the item which fits a bolt and which has a hexagonal shape in most cases. Banjo bolts are usually screwed to the inside thread of a caliper, carburetor or something like this. Where can I find a banjo nut?

Roger Lee Posted September 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Hi Markus, I went back an corrected my term "nut". I was just typing away and didn't pay attention. It is bolt. I had it corrected in the second post, but the first one I guess I was a sleep at the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
