Re: Can i use a rubber hose opposed to the metal fuel line??

JUST DON'T DO IT!

Stainless braided line with fittings is ok, but rubber alone is asking for a problem. The risk to cost ratio is way too high. Lost of guys run a small amount of rubber up by the carb so that they can attach in-line fuel filters or make attaching to the carb a little easier.

Rubber deteriorates, rubs through, gets brittle and developes pin holes. Maybe it won't happen this year, but you are INVITING trouble. Maybe major trouble.

What don't you like about steel line from the pump to the carb?
