Cjwv1975 96 #1 Posted August 8 Ive never messed with a vacuum fuel pump which I assume I have. This tubing pulled right out of nuts. That isnt normal right? Also the rubber inside those nuts looks pretty bad. What do I replace it with if anything. Thanks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the workshop and apartment move some things are yet to be organized. If I can find them I could send you a few. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,989 #5 Posted August 8 These compression fittings are readily available. I picked up a small tubing bender to make the fuel line. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rocker box oil line seals for a Panhead or Shovelhead. If you go to a dealership or a bike shop do not buy the orange colored ones, they will fall apart. These are the ones that I use. https://www.jamesgaskets.com/products/jgi-63529-57-seal-oil-line 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 9,309 #9 Posted August 8 @Racinbob, you can't do that ! just teasing you , regularly revert to something to eliminate the issue . if you are a purest , it can't be done . frequently refer to , the functional re make on a problem spot . more often than not its been trouble free and easily worth the change . REPEDITIVE FAILURES , are your que , love those , take the time to really study what's going on , make the change , pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 51,909 #10 Posted August 8 (edited) I'll second the HD seals but to be fair to Lowell he also sells them. https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/product/brass-fuel-fittings-qty-2/ He will sell just the rubbers. Before I knew this I got a dozen of them off Flea Bay for dirt cheap. Note in Bob's pic one end is slightly longer but I forget which end goes where.

WHX?? 51,909 #11 Posted August 8 (edited) 26 minutes ago, peter lena said: @Racinbob, you can't do that Actually he is correct Bob. Code states no compression fittings used as fuel lines. Now I gotta turn you in to the code police ... Me thinks Kohler used them long before codes tho but yes nice work for us purists! Two barb 90s and a short piece of fuel line work too. I have to pull the motor on the flame for repaint so this will get changed. Edit: BTW a drop of oil on any compression fitting goes along way to help with sealing.

I just matched what was original on an 854. Code?? Isn't that just for smart people who do things right? Don't pertain to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ive been having issues getting on to it. Ill probably order some there since I need a few other small parts he sells. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
