Other thing, you could re-do the steel line or if that isn't an option, you can get a brass, barbed nipple and use that off the pump.
This is what I was wondering. Easy thing to overlook/assume....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
