Default Re: motor issues, carbs dirty maybe?

ive got a friend w/ an early 80s GMC (bronco equivalent, i forget name) who could run it. my tundra is an 08, and id rather not risk it.

while checking the fuel pickup in the tank, i noticed that it is a 5/16 ID line, while the rest of the fuel lines are 3/8. its a strange design; 90' angle, barb fitting above tank for 3/8 line, barb fitting below threads on the bottom for 5/16 line. the pickup is just a semi rigid tube that was loose. i flipped it around and it is now snug, but cant get a hose clamp on because of threads above barb fitting. may try and replace whole assembly. they didnt have one at lowes or west marine in the fuel fittings section though...

fr. frank, i would pay money to see you in your clerical shirt at a mud pit by the way...
