Fred, I have been flying RC aircraft since the late 60s.? Kudos to you for
thinking outside the box to obtain that fuel line.? Let me make one caveat
about gas fuel line for model airplanes.? Most of the Tygon type fuel lines
will harden with age and heat will hasten the hardening.? The only gas fuel
line that will not harden, ever is made by a company called Sullivan.? They
call it Pro-Flex fuel line.? If this is what you got, you scored.? If not, you
will be changing it out in a year or two.? I have no financial interest in
Sullivan, just an avid RCer.Mike MacLean

Bob,
I went to a hobby shop selling gas powered models and bought air plane fuel
line.? Worked perfectly and I dropped the 2 lines thru the?frame and?away from
the exhaust.

"... The overflow pipes are directly above the exhaust pipes." I ran some
some small fuel line off each of the overflow pipes, and tie-wrapped them at
the chassis (hard) engine mounts.? I always assumed these--or something like
them--would be stock, but the Moss catalog doesn't show them.?? They can't hurt.

Michael,
I agree with Bob on his comment.? I just completed this on my car and the
correct and easy way is to undo both banjo bolts.? Leave everything else in
place.? This gives you great accessibility to the hose you need to replace.? Be
sure to keep control of the banjo bolt washers and as Bob mentioned, the mesh
screen/spring.?
Another easy thing to do is loosen the bolts on the top of the float
chambers.? This will allow some movement of the?tops and makes it easier to
align the banjo bolt threads during reassembly.? Be sure to tighten the float
bowl bolts?after tightening the banjo bolts.? Be sure to tighten the hose
clamps when you are finished.
Just make sure everything is tightened up before you start the car.? The
overflow pipes are directly above the exhaust pipes.

I haven't done this in a while, but IIRC it's easier to unbolt both banjos.?
There should be spring-loaded 'thimble' screens in both, and you'd have to
twist the hose a lot to get just one in/out.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to replace the short fuel hose between
the BJ8 carburetors without removal/loosening of one of the carbs?? Maybe
remove the rear carb's banjo nut? Thanks, Mike ? Michael Garvey
