Doug-
I also have an M1B for my -8 and have fretted with that line as well.
For me, the line, as it comes from the factory, runs up the right side
of the engine (looking from the cabin forward). Mine came with the hose
in place with the support and intercylinder baffling already installed
around the line. The problem I had was that the fitting that the factory
provides is straight and the space between the top of the injector servo
and the bottom of the crank case was too small to allow for a safe curve
of the hosing. I had to be a little creative with a 90 deg AN fitting to
get what I hope is a safe setup.
I'm not sure why you want to route the line up the other side. There is
so much crucial hardware there that I would worry about intereference.
Im also not sure why this wasnt done for you already...I have a friend
who is a couple months behind me on his -7A and got his M1B shortly
after I got mine and his had this hose routing done already also (of
course, the fitting on his was already a 90deg fitting...). I have been
generally happy with Lycoming so far (I am aware of the general
criticism of them on this list and elsewhere), but there does seem to be
some variation in how the same engines are shipped. You might call them
and have them send you the hardware to make this installation correct,
so that you dont have to spend the $$. I am happy to snap some pictures
of this for you if it would help.
I, too, am about 3-4weeks away from the big day. Just got back from
Portland for a few days with Mike Seager....well worth it.

servo to the spider on top of the engine. This line was originally routed on
the left side of the engine, back through and above the intake air tubes, and
up the rear to the spider. The hardware that Van's supplies for the throttle
includes a reverser that attaches to the case, and it interferes with this fuel
line. I want to run it on the right side, but it's too short to take all
the way to the back of the engine, but it's perfect if I can run it up between
two of the cylinders.
