Lovely weather, rotten fuel lines!

(1/3) > >>

Got the bike out, checked the tyres, oil etc., turned the fuel on - petrol spraying out one of the fuel supply lines. Luckily I’ve still got a spare set of carbs ( long story) so swapped them over. No problem, had a nice run out in the sunshine.

Upon return, looked at the removed carbs, hoses cracked and split.

Can anybody recommend a reputable hose supplier that supplies hoses that withstand modern day fuels?

Also, just to confirm the hose size, I.D. 5.5 to 6mm? O.D. 10 - 11.5mm?

Thanks

Found them. Nitrile, is that the stuff?

And, are there any tricks in replacing these hoses without dismantling the carbs?
