460U fuel line

Royalwapiti · Mar 15, 2015

Hi,

I have a 460U, I took carb off and when I put it back on I changed the fuel line fittings and over to barbed. I connected a rubber fuel line from strainer to the carb. Is this kosher from a functional standpoint?

I can put a metal fuel line back on but this was easier at the time. Does it matter?

I have heard some engines need a metal fuel line, like a metal vacuum line that they can suck so much they collapse the line. Trying to rule out a crappy running machine...

Thanks

The rubber fuel line works just fine as long as you route it away form the exhaust manifold so it does not get to hot.

Thanks. The fuel line drops down and comes in from the back of the engine so no problem with exhaust or other sources of heat. Thanks again.
