I've got one fuel line to install (carbs) and the engine is out. I had no luck getting the new line in further than 8 -12"
I can't imagine doing this with the engine in without bending the f*ck out of the new line.... |

Lawrence,
Leave the front grommet in place to guide the line. I did take the grommet at the firewall out so that I had more room to move it around starting out and that helped. Then some silicone spray when sliding the firewall grommet over the installed line. Took me a little while to do both by myself but it is possible (I didn't think so when I first started). |
