I've bought a number of fuel lines for my 70's era Mac's over the past year. Some have shrunk and become brittle, others didn't fit tightly where they pass through the fuel tank wall and leak right out of the box--I just wish I could remember what brand they were. A few I know were Stens, but others were no name stuff (I'm beginning to suspect all of the recent aftermarket fuel lines are Chinese ) And yes, all our pump gas is 10% ethanol out here.
Meanwhile, my original McCulloch fuel lines don't care if I run ethanol blend gas or dirt through them, they stay soft and pliable, and work just fine--some have been in the saws for years. Avgas ain't usually an option for me--I'm' too far from an airport.
Any of you guys restoring old Macs had this problem?
Anybody got a source for fuel lines for the Puper Pros, 10-10's PM55's, etc?
Appreciate any info or suggestions.
Thanks, Casey
