Default Re: L78 Carb fuel lines?

Probably not highly recommended by the purists but I've also used neoprene O rings inside the carb fittings. Just don't over tighten the fuel line when you put everything back together. I did this when I was playing with jetting and had the bowls on and off a lot. Left it that way for two or three years with no issues,...... and no leaks.

I have been told by others that blazed this trail before that
the only way to get stainless steel lines to stop leaking is
to use a flaring tool and re-dress the flares to make sure
they are perfect. I haven't tried this myself, but I will
be doing so soon ( with my SS L/78 lines )
