Fuel line

[Zac]

So my fuel tank and carb are aligned kinda weird. Is it fine if the fuel has to travel up rather than down the fuel line?

The fuel is gravity fed so uphill is less than ideal. Can you pass the line under the nutcracker pipe?

Just put the fuel filter right near the petcock and put the other end of the fuel line on the carburetor.... should be a downward path.

Should be as straight as you can get it. Filter up by petcock so any foaming in the filter will never reach the carb.

Filter is upside down, just run your line under the bar. As long as the tank is higher than the carb you're fine.

I did just that, thanks

How is this?

If you got a lot of buzz, that filter is going to pass the bubble down the tube. I like to keep them straight up and down, so all the air goes up and can't find anyway at all to go down. I also keep the petcock to filter short, and the line to the carb long, to keep any foaming in the filter.

Smaller/shorter filters are available too.

I can't keep it straight up and down because of the fuel line would touch the engine
