    Smokey15 So old that I use AARP bolts.

    Eric tests every carb on his own or a friend's engine. Any problems or questions, you can call him. He has even helped people with carbs not built by him when they couldn't get any help from where it was purchased. The more info you can give Eric on your combo, the better he can build to fit your needs. No detail is too small. No one is 100% infallible. It's how you take care of your customers that counts.

    So that is 5/8" to the carb. What do you have for the return ?

    #8 is 1/2" and #10 is 3/4" in stainless braided hose. What type of fuel line do you use that is 5/8" ?
