Ok. So I am using 1/4 clear fule line. Every freaking joint leaks fuel. I can't find any 10mm wire clamps so I am using small plastic zip ties with small success. What are you all using? There is nothing worse than seeing gas drip on fresh paint Grrrr!

Use 3/16 and no clamps required.

Ok. I have some of that. I thought it would be too small.
Thanks!

One more question. What side does the carb with the vacuum fitting go? I had it in my head it should be the right side but it looks like it should be on the left based on where the petcock fitting points.

The right, but you can actually align the fitting wherever you want to.

Pingle too big, carb to small. That's right ladies and gentleman meet my new friends - Mr. Heat Gun and Mr. Spit!
