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. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif) |

@NARP74
My post seemed sort of snarky, sorry about that. If it were me, would run a set of SS lines from Tangerine racing through the factory spots. Even the lines that poke through into the engine bay. That way you can use all the stock mounts and such and it looks clean. Once in the engine bay, routing the soft line is easy. This is what I did for my CIS 2.7. I know, not a carb'd 914, but theory is the same. Using the stock fuel lines for something not 914-4 stock works well. |
