Fuel line diameter

Going to stop on the way home and get some. What size is the rubber hose going to the carb?

Looks like 5/16 ID. Make sure it's fuel line (neoprene) and not rubber. Doesn't have to be high-pressure (FI) hose.

got some fuel line to remove the stupid 90 degree bend in the factory line cause I thought that may be the cause of the dieing when stopping issue, but it didn't work so on the the next item.

Crank the idle up with the plastic screw pass side rear. Might not be the problem but will make it driveable. Dashpot slows throttle plate when lifting off gas. Check adjustment.

Forget about the dashpot. It doesn't have one.

yeah they do! factory carbs have a dashpot. i'm betting his kickdown adjustment is out of wack and it doesn't actually idle on the base idle step EXCEPT when he comes to a stop from just off idle. that being said, that has to be fixed first before the base idle screw gets touched.

Couldn't find anything by that name (dashpot) in my carb manual.

Somethings out of wack. High idle is way to high when its cold and idle after it reaches operating temp seems way to low.
I think the art of carb tuning is a lost art these days. I need to put a tach on it to see what it actually idles at when cold and at operating temp.
If it were a diesel it would be so much easier to figure out. Lol

Turn up the idle like I suggested in post # 4 to where it will idle healthy. You don't need a tach. If the cold idle is excessively high there is a screw on the driver's side rear to adjust it. It's the screw you can get to from above. Mine idles really high when cold also but I'll live with it for now.
