Hello fellow builders (everyone stuck at home building during OSH),
Has anyone come up with a good combination of fuel pump -> carb routing, along with good exhaust placement?
I believe the recommended routing is shown below...sorry for the poor photo. Problems:
1. It rubs on both of those pieces of the engine mount, and not gently either.
2. Where to secure it, if it all? The hose/engine will be vibrating at both ends, but the mount won't be. There's also not a lot of room for slack to allow for the shaking engine.
3. The gap to the exhaust seems somewhat small (other builders have expressed concern) -- and this is with the exhaust pushed down and out leaving only a 1/8" gap to the cowl. Too little?
Other routings (namely "inside" the engine mount) keep it further away from the exhaust, but seem to put more stress on the fuel line and rub the mount harder.
Thanks for sharing any success stories you've had in this area.
