Replacing Fuel lines on RX

[LouDoo]

I am in the same Boat here . Trying to replace fuel lines. It appears there are two lines from fuel unit in the fuel tank that go under the engine on the port side. From there I cannot follow them. How in the )(^)(* do you change those without taking parts loose from the engine. Most of the others are just take your time and use the right replacement parts. Thanks for any help.

It would be best if you started a new thread, this thread is pretty much done.

I appreciate the help. I got all the major lines changed. Was not that difficult once you got in and just took the time. Question now is should I pull carbs and rebuild? If so, is there an simple wAy to get them off.

As you can see from my pictures, there was so much crap in my lines that it ended up in the carb filters. While I am new to pwc's, after what I just saw on mine, I would remove the carbs and check the filters. I guess you could run it first but if you run lean and burn up a piston, you will not be happy...

And don't forget the fuel selector. I'd replace it as most leak after a good cleaning.

There are 16 bolts to get them off. No simple way. Just wrenching pure and simple. Feel free to ask questions.The oil pump cable and bell crank can be an issue. Ask so we can help you get it right. If you do go the rebuild route buy official parts. Tear them down in a container like a big cheap litter box. So everything lands in the container and does not get lost. Carb cleaner will chew up rubber parts and seals. Avoid spraying on those items. If you clean the tank selector, take the rubber O ring out, before using carb cleaner. If you have a pop off tester check for air leaks in the fuel system.
