Dumbist question ever!

[Guest]

So I am at work just about to order a new pectcock to replace the POS one on my bike. I figure why not get a filter and fuel line at the same time.
I am having major brain fade and cant remember what size the fuel line I need is.
I think I need 3/16" id fuel line. Yes?
In my defence I have only had one espresso this morning and that was at 5.30am 4 hours is tooo long between hits.
I am off to get a coffee now.
Thanks

Sorry, I can't help with the fuel line size, always just cut off a small piece & took it with me to the parts house & matched it up. Your new petcock chould come with a new filter.

I believe most folks here run either 5/16 or 1/4. I personally use the 5/16" blue urethane type line with no inline filter. If you do run a filter make sure it will not restrict your fuel flow.

Suzuki fuel line is 7mm. Most 5/16" type line will work but it may be loose on the petcock nipple. If you run a filter get the type with a gold stone on the inside, not a paper filter since many of these are for pressurized fuel systems and will cause a restriction on a motorcycle.

Good luck.

Really? Never heard that!

Even the generic run of the mill plastic ones? The cheapo on mine seems to dump gas quite fine when I apply a bit 'o vacuum to the petcock. Could I be missing another Gforce from fuel starvation?:shock: :-D

Thanks guys.
All sorted now.
Worst part of today....The bloody coffee machine at work is stuffed:shock:
By lunch time I had such a headache. I actually considered eating the unground beans! I guess I am an addict.
Cheers

Just for future reference, 1 expresso bean + 1/2 of a piece of Hershey's Milk chocolate = delicious!!!!
