    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Loose vacuum hose

I replaced the vacuum hose from my petcock to my carbs with a new 1/4" ID vinyl hose, and it's really loose. Much more so than the old hose. It says 1/4" ID right on the hose, so I'm a bit confused.
 
hmm, my vacumm hose is alot smaller than 1/4... infact, i think that's the size of my main fuel line...

are you sure you've got your measurements right?

It's what I was told,...
 
Do you have the old vacuum hose? Bring it with you to your FLAPS (Friendly Local Auto Parts Store) and find something in the same size. 3/16" may fit better.... you need a tight fit for a good seal for the vacuum to work.
