    Also found the source of the oil at the front of the motor,plastic cam plug is half out,off to get a new o ring....
    Have a look at the link I quoted a few posts ago scarry, may be time to drop your tank.

    I had a good look at the post.It is not at the tank,it is forward sort of above the rear axle,if i could post a pic i would.

    If you look at the 23rd pic on that link there is a pic of the offending bracket that the lines go through.The lines are that tight you cannot sleeve them with anything.
    Re routing them around the bracket would be best,and securing them,but i put that in the two hard basket,as there would not be enough pipe lenght.

    Thanks for your help.

    What about the end connector clip on "bayonet" fittings (the ones that actually clip onto the fuel pump and the fuel filter)? Same?
    In Bundalene's Puma project thread he looks for fuel hose connectors here is a link to his post that links to suppliers, I think they are of the same type.
