Re: fuel hoses
Fuel hose dia is hardly your worry. If the original was 6 mm that'll do. Larger diameter isn't a problem.<br /><br />You have to check that your tank vent (tank cap) is working. If it's clogged your tank will be under increasing vacuum the longer you run - and when this exceeds the capacity of the fuel pump no fuel will reach the engine. Can be checked by taking the cap of after running a while. Notice if the tank sucks a lot of air in. If your motor works with the cap off, you've found the problem.<br /><br />Same thing if the hose has a leak: The pump sucks it's best on the hose, but if air gets into the hose between tank and motor, fuel will be insufficient and after a while your fuel system runs dry.<br /><br />Look it all over and replace all hoses that looks suspecious. When you remove the prime bulb from the hose look carefully for minor cracks on the hose inside.<br /><br />Remember to replace with certified FUEL hoses and fittings.
