Lines- Gas and Oil

mixedbreed · Post by **mixedbreed** » Sun Jun 25, 2006 12:24 am

Hi Guys,

I've been lurking for a bit but couldn't find what I was looking for in Haynes manual nor the 84-87 spree manual up in the tech docs.

Would someone be kind enough to take some pics of the oil and fuel lines and what the best way of securing them on would be (there were zip ties). Someone yanked out a bunch of the of lines the other night in the underground parking garage (sucks living in Toronto) I just want to make sure there all in the right places before I bleed them and maybe it would be useful to some other noobs like myself.

Thanks in advance
Mike

zip ties would be best.

The fuel line that goes on the carb goes to the top of the petcock. The line that goes from the bottom of the petcock goes to the intake.

that wass the carb line routing pic

this pic..the line with the red line on it is the oil line..the other one is the line that goes to the bottom of the intake

no zip ties. clamps that spring back, if not screw on ones. the red line has a bronze one on it in the pic above.

these are stock clamps..but zip ties or regular hose clamps will work. the red line on the line is the oil line so there is no pressure involved hardly

Hey guys thanks a lot for your help.

I only have one line to install. I guess this line isn't for fuel or an oil line the tube appears to be clear with no smell of gas or oil maybe it's a vacuum tube? Sorry for being such a noob. I see a little metal spout located on the back of the carb? (From the view of looking directed at the throttle screw or pg.44 of the spree 84-87 manual last pic)

It's pretty dark in the parking garage so I can't get too good of a look and hope I'm not trying to force a line were it's not supposed to go and not supposed to work on anything down there haha I gotta hide the tools from security cameras.

if its the line comin off the very bottom of the carb bowl, dont worry about it..it doesnt go anywhere its just a drain.

Thanks a lot i was worried I couldn't find a place were the tube went. Is there anywhere I should secure the tube to since it's just hanging?

it dont matter..* take it off..just keep it handy so when you do drain your carb you can drain it in a can or something
