Fuel line?
I ordered a new carb for my 79 Ih cub. Will 1/4 rubber fuel line work on it? Want to make sure it’s big enough to supply enough fuel to the new carb. Thanks

Re: Fuel line?
The size is probably fine, but I'm fairly sure the original steel lines were 5/16". Many of us prefer and recommend going back with steel. It's not that hard to bend one to the correct geometry, but a tubing bender (or a pulley) is necessary to keep from crimping the tube. Copper will get brittle and crack due to vibrations, and rubbercan either rot, or will go up quick should you have a fire of any type. A small controllable ember fire could become deadly at that point.

Re: Fuel line?
Ok so the steel line doesn’t need inline filter? Just go from sediment bowl straight to carb with steel line?

Re: Fuel line?
There is a screen in the sediment bowl. The IH and Zenith carbs both have screens in the gas inlet. If the gas tank is clean, nothing more is needed. Which carb did you order?

Yea it can only be like 640kb, which is real small now a days. Have to get an app to reduce pic quality.

Re: Fuel line?
Be careful installing that Steiner fuel line...the fittings and ferrals have never cooperated for me. I usually buy extra fittings

Re: Fuel line?
I do find the fuel line parts from TM fit better and I tend to have fewer problems with them.

When you only have 9 horsepower you need to know the names of all of the ponies!

Can do what has been suggested here for the pics. Or you can email the pic to yourself and choose small when prompted in size. If you have an iphone, they’ve made it easy for you. You can choose pic size when you select photo from your library

Re: Fuel line?
I have that replacement zenith on my 75 longstripe. No issues with performance but check all the screws that hold the two halves of the carburetor together...mine were very loose out of the box

Re: Fuel line?
Line size, 5/16 steel brake line from any auto parts store. The fittings are 1/2 x 20 thread, same as the carb and fuel shutoff.
