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.... |

I used wire puller lube on the steel line and gromet. That worked well.
Engine was out when I did mine but rotation of fuel line was key. It got hung up, I removed and tried at a different angle and it went right in. Bore scope has become a must have tool for the 914. |
