Congrats..and that plunger part that we discussed should never leak.. and I always recomenned to run at a high idle to empty the carb (do it) and
makes sure the fuel connector on the engine is pressed in to allow air in..Much better for the fuel pump diapram !!!.. I'm sorry I didn't have more
time to talk...rather busy to say the least !!! Tight lines and another satisfied boater..Yee Haa !! Keith & the famous lil Tasha  ...PS..do NOT use a screw clamp..NOPE..use A very small zip tie like the factory
does...or if your picky like me I use a zip tie that is rounded at the head for a true 360 seal

Well, I'd rather have a SS clamp on a fuel fitting in a hot operating environment than a plastic zip tie. To each his own.
Why no love for the SS hose clamp, cappy? Shall I replace all my fuel fittings with zip ties? 
I do respect your opinion on this subject.

yea I like the SS clamp too
the factory ONLY puts on zip ties because it's cheaper.
they break in time

hose clamps
I use what the factory uses or better...a screw type clamp does very poor job on small hoses and can actually cut the line due to vibration..for high
pressure lines I use "Oetiker" SS steel bands/clamps and for low pressure as in woodys case a good small ziptie has been found to make a much better
clamp the a "screw" type as the screw type has a "flat" spot in it (not good....also as in OEM apps for larger hoses I use "T" clamps and they are
pricey but do the job correctly...remember the simple fact that " all it takes to stop a engine is one bad 50 cent part" so do it right the first
time and be done with it.....I found out at about the age of 20 every guy thinks he is a mechanic and can fix it himself !! some guys are doc,cops
and cooks& crooks..etc,etc but assumeing to repair a motor and it does not mean that will stay running with performance and realibilty.....

+1 on the zip ties, they definitely work better on small hoses than the
stainless screw type, and you can keep a few extras in your tool kit.
