Dtret Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 So P.O. cut the line and put a nipple in the fitting. Problem is I don’t think that I have the correct fuel filter fitting. It’s accepting a 1/4 in fitting. The pump to carb hose is 3/8 with 3/8 fittings and does not fit. Is there a different fitting for the fuel line or is it correct. 1/4 at the carb and 3/8 at the pump ?. What I believe to be original metal line is 3/8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 Let me add. I purchased a new line from inline an it has 3/8 fittings on both ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Mine is 3/8, it was on my 2 barrel also. I have the fuel filter fitting off the old 2 barrel if that will help you it looks the same as the one on my 4 barrel that's why I saved it.

Save that one cause I hear they strip out pretty easy when doing fuel filter changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an inline filter so the one in carb doesn't get so dirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallaby Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I run an in-line filter in the rubber hose before the pump, and assemble the carb without any filter. That way, I never have to mess with that trouble area. If you think you really need another filter at the carb inlet, use the paper option instead of the sintered bronze type.

Yea I have the long paper filter in the carb an the inline filter between fuel pump and carb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallaby Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Maybe it's just me, but I have had those fuel leak and thread issues at the carb inlet. I choose to eliminate the internal filter and rely on an in-line filter. That way, the big carb inlet fitting never has to be messed with again.
