Restarting the original
Re: Restarting the original
Might actually be 7.5mm. I seem to remember 8mm fitting loose and 7mm fitting tight. I'll see if I can dig out the leftover hose and check, bike's all together and as we know that's not an easy access item.

Re: Restarting the original
Thank you, I'd greatly appreciate it. A quick google search led me to some 7.5mm braided fuel line at a John Deere parts store or I could just get some 5/16" for ease of searching.

These guys are my go-to for fuel line, crimp electrical fittings, and nuts and bolts. Their catalog is awesome.

Re: Restarting the original
thanks for the link on the misc bits, I can see it'll come in very handy.
Haven't had time to do any work on the bike in the past week. Finished doing some major maintenance (doing it myself) on my Golf; T-belt, water pump, transmission service (auto) and other small items. I'll be back to messing with the bike this coming week and uploading a bunch more pictures.

One of the many items to replace is the hose for this. Gonna be fun but all I have to do is really just find one straight section and another with a 45deg bend.
I'll eventually get around to finding the smaller hose that connects the left and right coolers. Then I'll worry about learning how to connect them- probably find a spare set to practice on before removing the originals.
Might just get a new one of these because who knows if the inside has any issues.
On Ebay I was able to score two 36" pieces of this hose to eventually replace the originals as the case is cracked on one. Right now, it's just get the bike going and verify it'll run before I tear into it and find I can't fix it. Looking into the barbed connectors for these hoses and well, that was a rabbit hole adventure! I'll eventually get around to finding the smaller hose that connects the left and right coolers.

Re: Restarting the original
The worst crack/ tear in the casing to one of the cooler hoses.
Just when I thought I had the Y-pipe situation all figured out by finding the OEM part number part online out of Australia, it's too big. This is where I think all hoses were to be 8mm but as you can see from the OEM part on the left, I need a 7mm y-pipe to fit that stinking little return jet and hose back to the tank.
