I'll show you how it needs to be fitted =) Edited 26/01/09 10:56 AM by Headsex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 26/01/09 10:55 AM Author Share Posted 26/01/09 10:55 AM The pics shown are b4 the hose was cut....We cut the new hose and it could barely fit on the fuel pump so if we cut it any further it would have been good for the recycle bin...

Rather than cutting and joining them (by soldering, or those walbro provided crimps!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 26/01/09 11:22 AM Author Share Posted 26/01/09 11:22 AM (edited) TBH, It was a reasonable fit. I didnt have to use much force at all? If I had cut the hose any shorther then it would not have fitted on either end, actually I thought the pipe was a bit short but I guess it worked out to be OK in the end? I got back from a spin and re-checked the hose fittings and to see if the surroundings were leaking but all seemed to be ok for the time being....
