Here is a question for the group. My fuel line is 5/16 OD. I am having an issue trying to get a 90 degree inverted flare fitting with the 5/16 tapered fitting on both angles. For some unknown reason these are not being stocked by any of the major hydraulics and fitting suppliers. I even walked Hershey last week and could not find any fitting. They do have 1/4 and 3/8 fitting with the 90 degree flare inverted at NAPA. So, the question that I am asking, Would there be any major fuel issue if I changed the 5/16 OD to a 3/8 OD line I am increasing the ID approx. maybe a 1/16. Would there be any issue with to much fuel coming from the pump to the carb in a volume issue. I would not think so because the pump only puts out 3-5 lbs and the flaot also controls the amount of gas going into the carb bowl. Any input would be appreciated. When I have seen the 5/16 inverted flared 90 Degree fitting listed they are going for $13-15 each and if they are getting harder to find then lets go with a more common fitting and line since they are available and also cheaper. All 25 cents worth of input if fine by me. Rich Hartung Desoto1939@aol.com Cell 484-431-8157
