Fuel pipe 500 Four

(1/3) > >>

bobv7:
One of the fuel pipes split at the tap and is too short to cut back. What sadistic SOB decided the best way to get fuel to the carbs was by routing the pipes that way? I'm getting really good at disassembling half the back end of the bike to take the carbs off which is not how I wish to spend my Sundays. I'm sure that the many learned members of this group have come up with a much improved solution to the problem, but in the mean time can anyone tell me what size fuel hose I need to get? Any assistance would be much appreciated.

bobv7:
Cheers Mate, I changed the other tubes when I last had the carbs off so suppose I should have done the fuel ones at the same time. Learning all the time!

Bryanj:
They can be changed useing long needle nose pliers with carbs on, usually using versions of anglo saxon "special" words but it can be done

JezzaPeach:
As Bryan says, ultra long nose pliers and maybe a screwdriver to help push as the pliers pull. Done it with nitrile. I bought a cheap set like these with different angles.

bobv7:
No way could I see how to replace the tubing with the carbs on; couldn't even see how it was routed. :(

Thems is scary looking bits of kit! You sure you want to share this with the rest of the world? ??? I just use a pair of artery forceps, WD40 and swear a bit.
