[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 439000, member: 13599"] good looking rig !! yep - once you reach that threshold of looking good and running good, it is easy to maintain and keep on top of things [i]before[/i] they become an issue. the blurb about: [i]"The service manual just says to check for cracking or leaking hoses"[/i] by the time you see cracked and leaking hoses and O-rings - - - it is way too late for general maintenance. if you have no idea as to how old the fuel line and squeeze bulb is, It would be a good idea to make one up now. Get the [b][u]SAE J1527 compliant[/u][/b] fuel line and [i]NEW[/i] stainless hose clamps and a new squeeze bulb. the hose system is either 1/4, 5/16 or 3/8" inside diameter . . . just make sure it fits your fuel pump and gas tank gas tank connections firmly. as well as a clear inline fuel filter that hangs vertical just forward of the motor. happy and safe boating !! .
