How do you route your fuel lines??

Changed the lines to one of the options in the diagrams shown in the thread. Bike runs 100x better (still stumbles and pops a little thought). Its not perfect but I actually was able to take it out for a short little ride down the block and might even go a bit farther tonight! Thanks again!

Thanks! That is exactly what I was hoping to see! Never thought of doing it that way! That is perfect!

I have a 78 with a special tank. I do already do the left petcock to right carb tee and vice versa. but I did not stager the filters so I guess I can try that. we will see how it goes.

I did the same thing on my 81 special. Just go right petcock to left Carb T and Left petcock to right Carb T. plenty of room for filters too. I also did away with the octopus and ran a crossover line from right prime tube to left prime tube on the petcock. works great.

I do not know which tank you are using, but on the standard tank I just finished I also installed 2 small fuel filters and I have the stock air box. Since it is so tight, I decided to cross the feeds. My standard tank has 2 valves, so the left valve goes to a filter, then to the right side fuel tee at the carb bank. The right valve goes through another filter and then to the left fuel tee on the carb bank. I just staggered the filters so the out of the way of each other. This works good and no kinks.

It seems no matter how I route my fuel lines I get kinks in them and it restricts fuel flow. Right now I just switched to the thin walled clear fuel line (I used to have the thick black kind) and I have inline fuel filters that are about 2 inches long from nipple end to nipple end.

I think the kinks have been causing my low-mid range stumble. It seems to run fine when I have the tank loose and lifted up a little but when I bolt the tank down to take it out for a test ride it starts to bog down and stumble from about 2000 - 5500 rpm after 5500 it will take off again but start to slow down and sputter when you hold the throttle open.

Thanks in advance!
