hookah hippie Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hello I got my MZ horas C yesterday.And while smoking when I cleared the chamber some smoke was coming out near the hose I tried duct taping the hose to the port with no luck any thoughts??

Snoopy1966 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 By the hose part itself or the part of the hose port that goes to the heart? if it is by the heart, just use a little solder. Is there gaps in the welds where the hose goes in? Then I would go to a metal fab shop and see if someone could braze it for you. Or you grommet was not set properly.

hookah hippie Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 I think the hose port itself has a small leak like over the grommet I think if I screw with it a lot today I can fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy1966 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hopefully it does not look like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookah hippie Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Not that bad it seems like it might be like that slightly but I am talking really slight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy1966 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 A got a new stem last week for my Sahara Smoke Cyclone and it had a little gap. I took my tiny needle nose pillers and a piece of cloth and just crimped it together. Worked good. I think I will put a little solder on it too.

MechAnt Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Are you using a nammor/razan hose? Their slightly squarish shape doesn't allow to a perfectly solid seal with the grommet. What I do is either electrical tape the hose end that goes into the port or i double stack two MYA Silicone grommets. Either one works perfectly. The hose port opening is so large that the squarish part will open a small leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Here's a pic. 1 is the hose problem. If leak from 2, then there's a defect in the pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't make sense. It's about the craftsmansip, not the materials used.Everybody's friend is solder. Solder it up and smoke away. Crimping sounds good too.-QM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 i just got a horas b myself. he prolly has a leak between the grommet and the port. its not a real leak, just the hose doesn't fit well like mech was talking aboutmy km leather hose doesn't fit into the grommet too well and pulls the grommet down slightly causing a leak. however my nammor with a syrian grommet fits perfectly with no leak.

MechAnt Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Sorry to disappoint QM. It is an MZ after all I wouldn't classify a soldering iron as heavy machinery.... an tig welder and then we're talking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staygone Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) Get the oxy-acetylene out, It's been awhile but I think I got it.MZ's and flaws don't match up. My SS never failed me, 2 years of service, ever.-QM Edited February 29, 2008 by QuiltedMaple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
