I can't be the only owner of a 914 that has had deteriorating rubber fuel lines but I can't seem to find the right posts covering this. Basically the fabric covered rubber fuel lines seem to deteriorate and split probably as a result of the ethanol in the fuel. Does anyone know if there are any replacements that hold up with the ethanol fuel. I ordered a new 7mm line from Pelican Parts and it seems to be the same German fabric covered rubber that was originally installed.

@VaccaRabite please tell me more about the molex connector. Sounds like a very good idea. Maybe a picture if available…. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

QUOTE(Freezin 914 @ Aug 16 2023, 08:18 AM)  @VaccaRabite please tell me more about the molex connector. Sounds like a very good idea. Maybe a picture if available…. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Its really easy, and there are a TON of 3 gang connectors on the market right now. I used Molex as I could find it easily at Radio Shack (which is also a hint at how long ago I did this - all the local shacks have been gone for ages here). But really any 3 pin connector will work, including just crimping on male and female spade connectors. Just make sure they are shrink tubed so they don't short against each other. Zach |
