    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...

    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.

What size vent hose do I need for a replacement petcock to carb on my '83 750T?

As always, thanks much.

Mike
 
I don't know what size your model uses, but just measure the ports at the petcock and/or carb and get something with the same inside diameter and be sure it slips on snug.
 
The fuel line is 5/16" ID. The vacuum line is 1/4" ID.

Thanks, buddy. As always. Didn't want to bug you with the trivial stuff!
 
Two auto-parts stores in town, and neither had 1/4" ID hose. Ridiculous. The guys behind the counter kept handing me other sizes saying, "Will this work?"

I just stopped taking the packages and started asking, "Is it 1/4" ID?"

"No."

"Then no, it won't work."

Any other suggestions as to where to get it?
 
I get all my fuel and vaccum line at Ace Hardware. The 5/16" is $.79/lf, and the 1/4" is $.59. At the auto parts store (morons- all of them) a 2 foot length is $4.99!!

Wal-mart and Lowes drove the hardware stores out of business. I guess I'll see what the morons there have,...

Thanks, brother.
