[QUOTE="canuckxxxx, post: 191856, member: 2409"] I'm into the third summer of running my single carb setup. I have switched it from 1100 engine to 1200, back to 1100 and now on the 1200 again. Because the 1200 is a bit wider than an 1100 the grab bar elbows have to be moved out for the 1200 or in for the 1100...each time requiring the hose clamps on the ends loosened and then tightened again. My fuel hose runners are starting to look beat up. [GALLERY=media, 31786][/GALLERY] I decided to redo the fuel hose runners so I went to Greenline Hose to get some new fuel hose. The hose I bought originally (see post #1) is called "hardwall" because it has a steel wire coil embedded in it to prevent it from kinking when bent. But I found out that they now have the same hose but without the wire coil: it is call "softwall" hose. With my setup the fuel hose doesn't have to bend very much so I bought the softwall hose. [GALLERY=media, 31782][/GALLERY] [GALLERY=media, 31790][/GALLERY] It is much easier to work with than the wire coil stuff. I cut it with a utility knife rather that a hacksaw and wire cutters. Plus you end up with a nice round end which fits over the elbows nicely so doesn't need to be squeezed as much to get an air-tight seal. softwall [GALLERY=media, 31785][/GALLERY] hardwall [GALLERY=media, 31784][/GALLERY] I also found that Duplicolor engine paint sticks to it pretty good so I painted the hose the same colour as the engine for looks [GALLERY=media, 31789][/GALLERY] BTW the old pieces of fuel hose that I am replacing show no signs of deterioration on the inside at all.
