| Subject: | Hose from oil tank |
My first time here. I just bought a used firestar11.I have been replacing ru
bber parts that are cracking.I have oil injection on the 503.The hose has cr
acking and needs replacing. It says goodyear 3/8 (9.5mm) is this a original h
ose?It seems to be 3=99.Where would I buy a new one?I have not called K
olb yet. I thought I would message you guys first.Also> what is the process a
fter removing the hose and putting the new one on with filter already in lin
e?Would I connect the oil tank side first keeping the opposite side high abo
ve the tank so it didn=99t come out the end.When ready drop the end an
d let the oil fill the hose before connecting and pinch end when full and co
nnect.I realize I would lose a small amount of oil in the process. I would h
ave a small container under the areas.thanks in advance.

Welcome to the asylum.
Easiest way (IMO) would be to remove the hose from the pump, block it with your
finger until you can get it to a catch container and drain the tank. Then remove
the entire hose and filter. NAPA sells good quality oil hose, I have had no
problems with it.
If you have a suitable plug, plug the pump end of your hose and fill the tank with
oil, loosen the plug and get a good flow of oil down the tube into your catch
container, block it with your finger and stick it on the pump, clamp & tighten
everything up. Check your oil filter for air, and tap on it until the air
bubble goes back up to the tank.
I use a syringe to make sure my pump is full of oil before connecting the hose,
but just in case you have an air bubble in the pump, pull on your oil pump cable
such that the pump is wide open and clip an alligator clip or similar on it
to keep the pump at max, start the engine and let it run at around 3,000 until
it starts to really blow smoke. Shut er down, remove the clip, check your
pump mark alignment, and you ought to be good to go.
To the other inmates: did I forget anything?
