vacuum lines ?

[Gregski]

what I learned about vacuum hoses, they come in different sizes, so buy a couple different sizes by the foot and cut them to size, get yourself a proper sharp hose cutting tool, it's a game changer and don't cut them with a knife or a razor, it turns a hated task to one you can enjoy

not all the hoses are mandatory, I am not saying ditch them all, but know that some only come into play for that particular function of the carb and the carb has multiple functions ie systems in it, so slowly learn the essential hoses from the ancillary that will really help you with troubleshooting issues later on

get yourself some rubber plugs made to block off the ports for troubleshooting, if you already have some of these black nipple plug offs replace them with brand new ones as well, just cause they look OK doesn't mean they are not cracked

just because a hose looks good doesn't mean it is good, take one off and bend it over your finger and look for cracks

don't be afraid to sacrifice old hoses when you take them off, cut them on the nipples the long way so they split and come off easy, don't try to twist them off if they been on there for 37 years

avoid T connectors

remember a carb is just a controlled fuel leak, ha ha
