It would be for the inbound line (bottom of carb). There is a clunk filter in the bottom of the tank, so another is not really needed. But it can still be use.

Some guys will use a filter to keep crud out of the vent line.

 

[Stygian]

do I have to use the clunk filter if I want to use the other one I bought?

 

[Guest]

No. You don't need both.

I should use the clunk filter. And I use that kind of in line filter in my vent line to keep crud out. I think I got the same filter but just blue

 

[Stygian]

No. You don't need both.

Cool that's what I thought, thanks for the info, I will clunk then use the other for vent line, that's a good idea. Also thanks again for the channel lock idea it works like a charm.

I would think though if there was just the open line on the bottom of the tank it could suction to the bottom and starve the motor but that would be unlikely but I'm sure it would happen to me. Maybe cut a v shape in the end of the line

Yeah, it would be best to use a fuel pickup fitting if the clunk filter was removed.

I have the return and vent line about 1" into the gormment and the fuel line 2 3/4" in is that enough or should I push them in a little more?

 

[Motakitty]

I would just have the vent just peaking into the tank to avoid it getting gas in the line but I think the rest are fine but maybe some one will chime in on it

 

[Stygian]

True, and with my luck I'm willing to bet I cut them too short LOL.

 

[Guest]

The return and vent line can be just barely through the grommet. The pickup line needs to be long enough so the clunk filter hits the bottom of the tank. There is a sump(very lowest point of tank), make sure the clunk filter makes it back in there.

 

[Stygian]

Yeah, I have a huge feeling I cut them too short, cut the pickup line 14" the other two 11"

 

[Stygian]

RCDad, what do you use to get the bottom hardware out of the stock x-series shocks?

 

[Dreggsta]

The lower ball mount? I used channel locks if that's what your asking.

Yep that would be correct, I will try my channel locks again, I might need a smaller pair.

 

[Guest]

I use a bench top press.

 

[Dreggsta]

You have to catch the back side you are pushing out & the other side you gotta grip the plastic edge to clear it being pushed out.

Yeah the tips of the channel locks I have are too big so I can't grab just the metal.

 

[Stygian]

So I just discovered an issue with the stock front bearing holders and the aluminum lower suspension arms, cause of the the way they are made they aren't straight when you put on the aluminum lower suspension arms, here's a pic

Use a small socket on the bottom. Big enough to go around the ball. The channel locks will push the ball into the socket.
