I have a Model II here in the High Desert of California.  It's been on the hot side lately and I discovered fuel dripping from the plane.  It was coming from a cracked line connected to the plastic "T" fitting of the primer.  Old age and possibly a build up of temperature caused pressure in the fuel system?

What would be the best corrective action?  I not sure I like such a fragile looking primer arrangement.

Thanks.

I'd start with replacing the cracked primer line. It does get brittle with age and exposure to fuel.

I installed a standard (short stroke) primer on my fox. I now have removed

my choke, it is not needed any more.

I ran the 1/16 inch copper tubes, to the carbs the same, it works great.

Thanks for the answers, and for John's idea of the short stroke primer, I'll check with Aircraft Spruce.
