So much to work with here... carbs, return lines for carbs, lots of fun.
Anyway I need to work on some upper fuel lines and was going to add a return line. For folks that have done it, what route did you use for the return? How did you make the hose bend for the 2nd carb if you routed it on the rear wall?
Also, where to add a pressure gauge? Between the pump and the 1st carb, or between the two carbs? What's best for accuracy or does it matter?
Lots of threads on functional talk, but I don't recall pics of the work.
