    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Have never had to buy the hoses between the carbs (your #47) and I don't know what the specs are on the drain hoses (your #46).
However, before you get #48 and #49, be aware that you get 600mm of hose with either one, which is probably more than you need to do both of them.

OEM is always the way to go as opposed to aftermarket that goes hard and does not fit properly.
As Steve said, if you buy the OEM stuff, you get a whack of it, so maybe someone here on the board has extra in the garage after replacing thiers, Put a plea out cap in hand and they can help you out for the the price of the shipping and a few bucks.
 
Vacuum lines are 3/16" inside diameter. Fuel lines are 1/4" inside diameter. Any auto parts store should have 3/16'' rubber vacuum line on hand.

Yep, that's what I did. Make sure you specify that you need FUEL line for the 1/4" ID hose. The other stuff will melt.
 
I use 5/16" fuel hose for the fuel and screw clamps..
Why would you want to restrict a gravity fed system?

4mm silicon vacuum line works very well, and seems to last longer than the standard lines. That's what I have been using to balance 1/4 and 2/3 hanging under the short carb sync tubes I have them attached to, behind the cylinder jugs. If they survive there they will work anywhere.
