Default Re: L78 Carb fuel lines?

Nick;

The stainless lines can be a serious p.i.t.a. to get to seal up. You might try loosening/tightening them several times using a high quality line wrench to "burnish" the flares a bit. Sometimes this will get them to dry up.

Also, you may have to crank them down pretty hard, as stainless doesn't give (read: "conform") as easily as mild steel does.

Lastly, do not use any teflon tape or thread sealer, the fittings must go together dry.

Eric
