Fuel line from Petcock to Carb question...

Post by rzgkane » Sat Mar 24, 2012 10:15 pm

Below are pics of the setup the prior owner installed on my CA77 Dream. Aside from the filter being installed backward (fuel flowing the wrong way) and the fuel lines being ancient and hard as a rock, the thing leaked and left a big puddle of gas on the floor of the garage today.

Can someone please post a pic of how the fuel lines are supposed to be configured between the petcock and the carb? It's a pretty funky angle for sure and the clear line I am using would probably kink if I ran it in a straight run.

Rz........I had the same situation when I got my 305. I went with the black fuel hose and just ran it from petcock to carb. Use just enough hose to make the connection. I kept getting air trapped in the filter.
In God we trust!.....Nothing like some breeze on the knees!
