RESTO Changing the fuel lines

[L111DDN]

Done them all but 1 8mm hose that runs under the exhaust. The 6mm hose to the engine I’ve done upto the T piece but not sure how to do the other side. Do I need to take the exhaust off to do these? Any information or pictures could be a great help.

Actually pics of what you're referencing would help us help you. I think you're referring to the T on the back side that drains off the cylinders, but I'm not sure. I'm not sure which 8mm (1/4") under the exhaust, but I think you're referring to the line that comes off the water valve running upfront to the mid pipe, but I'm not sure, because there's another one running to the rear coming off the high point close to the manifold.

Short answer, no, you shouldn't need to take off any exhaust pieces to change them.

I know it’s a bad description so will get pictures tomorrow

The 951 uses 8mm for all the fuel supply lines. The only 6mm is the return from the carb to the tank if I remember correctly.

The only fuel line I can’t do is the one from the filter to the engine.

And I can’t get the the little piece as pictured

Do I have to take the exhaust off of so I could get to three bolts but not the one right underneath

So the 8mm line runs under the carbs and up under the black box

You need to pull the carbs and service them with new Genuine Mikuni parts.

Just changing the hose is only doing 1/2 of the job. THe feed line you show should be 8mm not 6mm and you have to get all that old grey fuel hose out of that ski.
