"Conditional" and I am going to change out the fuel lines again. I am planning on using the new Parker Super Flex FL line as sold by ACS. Can anyone recommend this fuel line or any other / better ?? I need one that can stand up to Ethanol even though I am currently not using it. I am using Marine ( Non-ethanol ) fuel rated at 92 octane and boosting it to 93 octane. It is working great and I have not noticed any change in performance or temps from the 100LL. Also does anyone know of a small hose clamp ( and source ) that will work on the connection to the carb. The clamps I am using are about 1/2" wide and cover the bead on the metal line from the carb. I would like to clamp it on the small tube prior to the bead if possible. Is anyone using the spring type automotive clamp?
