Christopher:If I'm not mistaken, it's 1/4" all the way from the tanks to
the carbs. I just had to buy some a couple of weeks ago when the plastic
fuel "T" cracked between the Strombergs.
Which brings me to my next question for the group: Has anyone come up
with a better substitute for that stupid fuel "T"? Mine cracked again,
as I mentioned, and I'm now getting fuel to the carbs by running the
line from the pump to a metal "T", and then running a hose from each
end of that, looping them around and up to each carb fuel inlet pipe.
The "T" always tended to seep fuel a bit even when new (by new I mean
the replacement T's from Sunbeam Specialties), and putting hose clamps
on just accelerates it cracking (I've had trouble with a few of these
through the years). I'm worried about the longevity, and safety, of my
current setup as the hoses (1/4" inside diameter) have to be jammed
together between the carbs to force onto the inlet pipes, and have to be
clamped down fairly tight to not leak.
Any help would be appreciated.
By the way, thanks to everyone who offered suggestions on my valve
adjustment and other issues. It was a big help and I'm going to use some
of the ideas.
