t-fitting
Remove the air cleaner housing assembly, and cover the fuel plate with a plastic bag and a rubber band so you dont accidentally drop something into the intake. DISCONNECT YOUR BATTERY and cover one terminal. You probably wont find any clamps on the fuel inlet line, but be ready to add one later. The OEM fuel line has a hard plasticized over wrap on it, YOU CANNOT generally twist it off. BE READY TO CATCH FUEL WITH A LARGE TOWEL! Wear safety glasses. Cut the hose off at about one inch from the end of the inlet barb, and relieve the hold on the remainder of the cut hose by slowly cutting length wize. Dont cut into the aluminum barb!! Use a good sharp set of jaws on your pliers, to help peel it away from where the cuts are. Be careful not to let any pieces of rubber or plastic migrate into the barbs inlet, and dont bend the metal line. After you whittle it off, put a shorty piece of 3/8 hose on it with small hose clamps. Take a needle nose pliers and twist it into the freshly cut end of the orig hose to stretch it until it fits the other end of the T fitting, add clamps. Hook the gauge to the center T part, and again use clamps on the T side and gauge side. If you leave the needle nose in tight for 3 mins or so, your job will go easier. Before you go through all of this though, do the Ign system overhaul, and if the EHA is leaking, get a new one in with the two new O-rings... Dont forget to check electrical system voltage, you need 13.5 volts or better, inspect spark color, whitish blue, and make sure your battery terms are clean. If you have a weak battery and charge back sys, these can cause power problems too...
