Rerouting the Fuel Line



While running for long periods of time most things you would need to access such as the fuel tank or High Speed Needle are easily accessible. However it's hard to pinch the fuel line to shut the truck off. Sure you can wedge some needle nose pliers between the head and the body, but it's still hard to grab a hold of.

To solve this problem, I rerouted the fuel line, so that a section of it rested on top of the fuel tank. This allows me to easily grab it with a pair of pliers, or even just simply push the line shut with downward pressure from my finger. I started by taking a longer section of fuel line than the stock piece and made a gentle loop under the tank so that the line exited on the side of the tank.




Then I brought the line up along the side of the tank...




...and across the top to the carburetor.




Here's the result with the body on.
