Call or PM Rob...he will send you a replacement. Or go to a hobby shop and pick one up. Just stick it in with a dab of super glue, but check the polarity first.

Either the feed tube sizes are mixed up in the above post...

Or...

Am I the only one who's Mini's have a smaller feed tube than my Grand?

Early Grands shipped with 1/8 OD tubing. New ones ship with 3/16 outside dia ..... same with the woodvils

Hey, has anyone ever removed the screw inside the grand? The one that is just underneath the two magnets.....what's it look like in there? Are there any pictures? I'm afraid to remove mine.

Yep, nothing exciting at all in there though. Rob doesn't recommend taking it out, it can be a bugger to get back in sometimes.
It looks just like I imagined in there though .... the firing pin is hooked to the pos on the connector above the hose.
Thats about it ... super simple.

 

[Rhapsodies Fire]

Yep, what Big Hitter said. A few folks had a really hard time getting the screw back in. We did it and didn't have a problem. There isn't much to look at in there. So simple

 

[jifjifjif]

Thanks much. Leaving the screw IN!

Thanks much. Leaving the screw IN!

Yes, leave the screw in. Its a long screw that goes all the way to the back of the Reo. Sometimes it can be next to impossible to get it lined up with the female threads at the back of the Reo. Also, the Reo being made of aluminium which is a soft metal, it can be easy to strip out the threads.

 

[jifjifjif]

Yep, I hear ya' thanks for the info, all.

 

[Mudflap]

I still say there are miniature porkys back there.

There is an adapter you can buy for your 306 atty so you can use the 510 drip tip. That way if you want to try a 306 you do not have to purchase a drip tip to use it.

Hi Reonauti,


I'm thinking of giving a new paint, with hot paint bath in Reo mini, so i needed to remove and replace back the connector 510 after paint.

..... anyone know how to that? is it threaded or was put by pressure?


Thanks by advance.

 

[ltrainer]

Hello,

I'm pretty sure that the connector is pressure fitted. I'm sure others will chime in if I'm incorrect. Good luck with your project. Keep us informed.

I've tried all of the 306-510 adapters I can find and haven't been very happy with any of them. In my opinion, the best adapter is one you can make with an old 510 tube and the plastic mouthpiece that comes with the 306.

The operation is really simple. Liberate an old 510 of innards and then slip a drip tip on one end. Insert the big end of the 306 cover (the plastic cover that comes on the 306, NOT your drip tip) so that the end with the small draw hole sticks out. Make a small mark with a razor in the plastic where it terminates at the end of the 510 tube. Remove the small tube and cut it just above the mark you made. You should now have a much smaller piece with large opening on both ends. Slip this back into the 510 tube with the drip tip still attached and then slide over your 306 atty.

Voila' homemade 306-510 drip tip adapter.
