Subject: Re: [Spridgets] Fuel lines for Bugeye with a 1275 engine

Where is your pump located?  The Bugeye originally had a steel line all the way from the tank to the engine mounted mechanical pump, with no rubber hoses at all.  If your electric pump is mounted in front of the rear axle I would install a steel line from there to the engine with a short rubber hose connecting the steel line to the front carb.

Thanks for the quick reply Rick.  Pump  is mounted  just forward of the
rear axle.  Any suggestions where to source such a fuel line?
