I've put this off, but pretty soon I need to hook up my engine and I'm
not happy with what I've come up with so I'd like to ask for some help.
How are people hooking a primer line to the small fitting on the bottom
of the Bing carbs?
You could barely get one hose clamp on there and it's a metric fitting
(5mm), I think. I can squeeze some 1/4" ID yellow tygon down on it with
a small clamp, but that doesn't seem like a great solution. I think
vibration might cause the clamp to cut into the line and I'd like a more
robust line carrying fuel in the engine compartment. I guess I could
put some firesleeve around the tygon and try to find a hose clamp that
stays round when clamping that small.
As far as I can tell, the fitting is pressed into the carb and I haven't
messed with it. I've searched the archives and found I can get some
soft primer line from Lockwood Aviation, but I know others have solved
this problem, so I thought I'd ask. I could go back to using the
chokes, but I've got the primer installed and wired at this point.
Also, for carb balancing, are you incorporating a "T" in the lines or
disconnecting at the carb or maybe the primer solenoid?
Thanks, all.

Ron,
I never installed a primer. I use the choke and it starts immediately
year round. Actually, I didn't like my dual cables so I only have one choke
hooked up.
