Quick question: Fuel line size
06/21/07 at 08:34:36
I need to pick up some fuel line at the auto parts store today but I forgot to check the size before I left the house this morning (I have a long commute).
Can someone tell me the size of the fuel line on a Savage? Mine is a '86 in case it is different than other models. I searched to see if this info was posted here elsewhere but didn't see it.
Thanks!

Of course, the ID is more important!

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

I think the ID is a little bigger than 1/4 but smaller than 5/16. Although awhile it ends up that way. And the od is way bigger than 5/16, especially if you get the reinforced tubing which is recommended.

So... 1/4" ID hose should work fine. If the nipples are a tad bit bigger, it should still work.
Thanks guys. I knew I could count on this bunch for a qucik answer!

5/16 will go on easier. 1/4 can be made to work. a little gas in there or heat or expand it with needle nose pliers, goes on. don't need hose clamps.

I wound up getting the 5/16" line and it worked great. Slipped on easily and tightened down nice and snug. I bought an inline filter and new clamps so everything would be new.
Thanks for the help!
