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.

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.
