Made the pump to carb fuel line!

[In The Ten Ring]

It's a 250 engine, not a V8.

Today I put the pump to carb fuel line together. The new AN fitting that goes into the carb fit perfectly but wouldn't allow the paper filter to fit inside. I'm a bit bummed about that but I did use an in-line filter I had bought some years ago from NAPA.

I put in a polyarmor piece with a fitting that screwed into the pump, cut the flare off the end, and slipped on a piece of 5/16 rubber hose. I had forgotten how to bubble flare so I just used a hose clamp.

I ran that over to a brass 5/16" to 3/8" union from Jegs, to a short 3/8" bit of hose, then to the in line filter, and more hose over to a -6AN hose barb fitting screwed into the carb inlet fitting. My connections are tight and straight.

I went on and bought a whole set of aluminum AN fitting wrenches, which I used two of, I think it's better to have the complete set of tools when you can.

I put the vacuum hoses back as those were before I removed the carb for rebuilding.

Wish me luck! Tomorrow dad and I plan to go for a start!
