601 fuel line routing

[onoffrey]

Looking for pictures in how the hard line is run from the tank towards carb. Mine was fixed with rubber hose and is now leaking so I'd rather replace it right. Just having trouble finding pics for orig routing. Thanks in advance.

OEM was steel off the tank tap, 90* bend to the right, then a four inch section of rubber to isolate the tank tap from vibration. Then straight down through the manifolds to the filter bowl. 5/16 brake line is commonly used as replacement. the threads on it is the same as that in the filter bowl.

This one is off a 600. If I had my drudders I would totally reroute the line out the front of the tank down the left front side of the engine and to the carb. There are pix of this routing I don't have them.

I use a 1/4 turn ball cock & 2 compression fitting adapters.

Never really liked original routing thru manifold. The shutoff valve always leaked after a while. Prefer to run around front of engine leave valve on and put another shutoff downstream
