Check the blue tygon fuel lines. This fuel line is very common on outdoor powersports but would make me nervous on this application. Thoughts?

It's a carbed engine, so that should be low pressure.
The question is, is the fuel line rated for automotive use?

Is the plastic just going to melt the first time you get that engine hot?

Oh boy...

Yes, Oh boy is right. Would consider that entire system a remove and replace.

From Tygon:

The tubing has a working temperature range of -35 to 165 degrees F, a durometer (hardness) of 57A, and the working pressure ratings vary by tube size.

An enclosed engine bay is certainly capable of exceeding 165 degrees... someone must have really liked the look.

Also ... is it me or does the rear not looked elevated? Normally the rear wheels are tucked under the fenders, but ... you can see the top of the rear tires from a normal sight line.

Come to think of it, the hot water in my house is set for 160 degrees F.

Used in a lot of snowmobile engines. They burn really quickly too.

Ben,
If you haven't already I would recommend contacting the seller letting him know of the potential fire danger of those fuel lines. I'm sure he would appreciate it. Take care!
