Re: Fun video for you to watch....help!

Also dont cap of the other two lines (big line & small line) because the tank needs to vent if you dont have a venting gas cap.

Looking at the sizes on LMC, the fuel line is the larger of the three unless my math is chopped, the vapor line is mid sized and the return is tiny.

I will see if they have been capped off or not.
My question is, why would they put a return line if its not needed?
What does it prevent? is there too much pressure at some point and the carb is not using it? would that pressure make it use more gas?
I've never messed with fuel pumps before.
