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.... |

There are 2 access panels to look through. You really don't need a horoscope. The first time I did one, my teenage son helped me spot it down the tunnel with his cell phone flashlight. Took less than 10 minutes for both lines and I did not loosen or remove the shifter. WD-40 isn't lube. Use a real lube and it will slide easily. You might have to rotate it some as your spotter helps you sight it down the tunnel.
