OK, I'm done with this Chinese black fuel line. Even with the new smaller clamps, it still leaks!
I mic'd the fuel barbs on the carb. Different measurements depending on where I measured. Closest to the carb it was 5.85mm; then a narrow thicker part was about 6.87; then a wider part towards the tip was 6.20; then at the tip it was 6.90. Barb ID was 3.75mm. The black hose ID was 4.91, so plenty snug it seems to me. But it ain't working.
Tmw I'm taking the carb to a local-ish Honda dealer to try and get some actual motorcycle fuel line, the clear stuff.
On the plus side, it did start on the second kick! Almost on the first one.
Also my new OEM Honda side cover and knob came in today. Trying to get the pic up. Lost my nifty little photo editor in the upgrade. Edit: got it, sorta.....
