Get the larger sized fuel line (5/8th or 1/4) and run cut a small portion of the old fuel line over the petcock. Then put the larger line over that. Works like a charm.
Yep What he said!!

That would work great with it.

Post by: Sublunacy on January 09, 2013, 11:18:17 pm: that is a great question, really. I have been seeing little plastic clips.....at the hospital lol and Ebay that you can get I different colours aswell. I was very hesitant to do this> but it is my bike and hopefully allways will be. Secondly a Carb shouldn't leak fuel unless it needs new rubber seals etc.
Thirdly I have my Diploma for Engine Mechanics however im new at all this still. Seems to me I will be OK right? I don't plan on wearing any fire protection so if anyone has an issue however situational/theoretical. I am all ears......
The hardest part now is deciding w way to mount it that is pleasing to the eye.

Post by: 87BlueRacer on November 23, 2012, 12:41:44 pm: So I just installed a new fuel thinking that my filter was restricting my fuel. I found out my carb has a either 1/2 or 5/8 size opening for the fuel. Its a Kelihn don't know what size it is. I know the intake portion is a 64mm. Since the stock fuel line is a 7/16 I really had to stretch it out to fit. Where can I get a larger pet **** to run the larger fuel line?
