I know there have been many posts regarding the 1/8" copper tubing used for the primer from the solenoid to the lycoming tee. Does anyone have any details on replacing with braided hose? The question is the lycoming ball-end fitting for the tubing that mates with the tee. Is there an adapter out there that would let you use a fitting that would connect to braided hose? I haven't been able to find one. I talked with Brett at Boanco and he's willing to help if we can provide some info to him in order to produce the fitting. does anyone have any specs on the ball-end fitting? I'm going to try and come up with one to send if I can find some old primer tubing. My line recently broke, but I inserted a 1/8" universal rivet into the fitting to seal it off. I just happened to notice the copper line had sheared (even with 3 vertical and 3 horizontal service loops) when I had the cowling off for something else. Not sure how long I've been squirting gas on the engine when priming for start (annual was in April). I'm anxious to know if someone already has solved this as far as how to use flexible lines.
