One word of warning: The rubber hose I had running from the fuel pump to the carbs was less than 6 months old. When working on the carbs, I fired the engine up only to see a constant high velocity stream of gas shooting out of hose and onto the engine. The hose was not excessively bent or kinked. My only answer is that c%&# they sell us for gas these days with all the alcohol in it had rotted the hose that quickly. I'm running all high pressure fuel injection hose for ethanol now.

P.S. I also have an electric pump in line for priming the pump. As I'm getting things sorted out I'm finding it unneccessary.
Ive been promoteing fuel inject. hose for use for a couple of yrs now,why it isn't being used is beond me??? ken ct. This corn gas eats up regular rubber fuel line for lunch. word to the wise. ken ct.
