Can anyone confirm a couple of hose lengths for me please?
I am trying to link up the two SU carbs across the inlet manifold. Here is the one I have (and it's dimensions)
It won't quite reach the unions between the float chambers. Could it be this is intended to connect from the end of the incoming fuel pipe and to the first float chamber? (hose 25)
I can see the link hose (26) will need to be longer. Does the link hose just lay across the top of the inlet manifold?
If anyone can give an overall dimension on these it would help me out please....
Thanks

More confused than before now

Ian,
Car in garage at the moment so awkward to get to but this should show you the route that the petrol pipe takes

Thank you Phil... Seems it's still too short even routed the other way.... Will look again tomorrow at a way around this. Trevor may be correct about the fuel vapourisation, (if what people tell me is correct...)

Ian,
A bit difficult to photograph but I have managed it in three separate shots. This is how mine is done and I think it is what the others have suggested too. hope it helps.
