1.8 vac hose layout

the one in the tech articles. the diagram shows/labels 13mm being used. in the length totals no 13mm is shown. lots of 12mm. what is the correct size?

I just replaced all my fuel lines and vacuum lines based on this diagram. I used the 12mm in the length totals area....everything worked great!

I used the 18mm which worked for me. The 22mm I couldn't find anywhere yet...so I've just ducked tape for now mine (embarrased yes, did it work...for now!). Seems like the sizes in the "listing" versus the diagram are the ones to use (in my case at least...have a 75).

yw...took me about 2 mos to get it running very well. What I found is if the vacuum lines are all tight, the electrics are good, fuel is clean and pressured...then the l-jet runs great! Mine starts first time and idles great even in this cold Indiana weather! Good luck!

p.s. the fuel line diagrams are also correct and work great! Might not be a bad idea to change the fuel lines also...old cracked ones can start fires! And you never know (in my case) if they actually used fuel line material!

it runs pretty good now. except for the exhaust. i'm going to change to some ss h.e.'s and a 4-2-1 muffer set up that i already have. i have all the other bits and ends. going to tune and do the lines first. not going to make repeated trips to the parts shop. making a pretty comprehensive list. right on the fuel line. firewall back is the plan at this time.
