While you're replacing hose anyway, I wonder if anyone has ever replaced the standard hose with a more crush-resistant version, thereby perhaps making routing a bit less of a critical path item?

Anyone?

On my 86 I replaced my hoses with automotive fuel line and I've never had a problem.

I did that too about five years ago and thought I was pretty smart. recently the bike is acting suspiciously like the hose is collapsing. It takes about a half hour to get to the mountains from my house. Everything is fine until I go up the first mountain than it sputters and carries on when I give it the throttle. If I stop for a coffee. the bike runs rough for about 15 seconds then is fine for another half hour.

yes.. 3/8" napa hi pressure fuel injection hose works great...  its thick & larger o.d. , it barely fits under the curvy bracket thing that bends it around the top of #3? carb.

what clamps? :blum1:
