fuel line
« on: May 18, 2007, 08:28:14 AM »
i did a search on fuel lines and didnt come up with much on how they are routed. well being that mine was in a wreck when i got her i have no idea how the fuel line was run.

i did figure out that it runs through the air box. my big question is at the tee. i would think if you set the tee wrong the right carb could get less fuel than the left. so does the tee go straight down from the petcock to the fuel line barb on the carb of does it come down and then comes out so it it looks like a T with one running right and left?

or if some one had a nice pix that would be great, cuz my books dont show that.

thanks

thanks thrang! you rock!

that is how thought it had to go, just seems like the right carb wouldnt get enough fuel with it like that.

Then in my 2nd example, the reader can click on the photo and go directly to your page.  
Which I forgot to show you a code example of...
