Default Re: Fuel line fitting - tube wobbles

Just thought that maybe the ferrules are inside the fittings. Maybe I pushed them out into the carb/filter housings. Not home now, but will check tonight when I get home. lol!

Two things, the correct fitting include both the brass threaded fitting AND a ferrule.
Second thing... copper fuel lines are never a good idea. There's a reason they are illegal.
