Routing fuel line

[Badsneaker]

I need some type of 90 degree adapter for the pressure line on my exhaust pipe. The fitting sticks straight up. When I get the buggy started and put the lid on, the idle increases. I re-routed the fuel feed lines to the carb. It looks like the pressure line is getting squeezed at the pipe fitting causing maybe low pressure resulting in the engine leaning out. When I pull the body up a little its fine. I lowered the exhaust pipe a little too. The exhaust pipe really needs a 90 degree fitting so the pressure line doesn't get pinched by the body. Otherwise I'll have to buy a new pipe.



Also a good footnote on filters:

Always check a brand new filter for screen and anything that might be in the filter. My brand new Kyosho fuel filter had a burr inside on after the screen. It would have easily made it through the fuel line to engine.

Speaking of fuel filters I just noticed my 1st fuel filter is backwards DUH

also, you have two filters?

That looks like that fitting should do the trick. As long as its not as big as the pic on TH!

Yeah I saw the double filters on the buggies at my local track. Pros? Cons?

more fuel longer run time.
take a look at my buggys fuel routing. you ll see not only a couple filters, but long lines wrapped up, this allows for a bit longer runtime, as well as pretty much cures whats known as the left turn lean.

I used one of these on my previous savage. Gives me more time to get to it to flip the truck back over, and makes priming the engine easier.
