Hello Satorizero,
First Off The Web Master Clean Up Non Web Users To ACOC
Web Site, So Please Join To Keep This Forum Going In Future.
Welcome Back ;D

Now On This Leak You Have Is About A # 10
Because It Is Spraying Fuel All Over.
Looks Like The Rubber Hoses Are Rotten Through.
This Needs To Be Repaired Now, This Is A Very Bad Safety Hazzard.
Is This A 3 Way Valve For Fuel Tanks.
Do You Have More Than One Fuel Tanks.
It's Hard To Tell By Looking At YouTube Video.
But Any Mobile Mechanic Can Replace Hoses.
Make Sure To Have All Your Rubber Fuel Lines Replaced With
Fuel injection Hose.
Can Get At Napa Auto Or O'Riellys Auto.
They Sell By The Foot.

Hope This Helps.

Note Most RV Fires Are From Bad Fuel Line & Your Clipper Can Burn To The Ground.

Hello Satorizero,
Thanks For Sharing Your Repairs, This Helps Other Clipper Owners That May Have The Same Problems.
Glad To Hear, You Were Able To Get That Electric Fuel Pump Repaired.

If That Fuel Line Was Bad, I Would Bet ThenRest Should Be Replaced :-[
There Is A Small Rubber Fuel Lines By Sending Unit On Fuel Tank, Then At Fuel Filter., Passenger Side
On Frame, Also Check To See If You Have Any Fuel Lines To Carburetor From Fuel Pump,
Located on Lower Bottom Of Engine To Top At Carburetor.

There Is A Lot Of Heat Generated Under Dog House.
These Fuel Hoses Should Be Checked Yearly.

It Is Really Bad To Have A Fire In The Dog House Caused By
Rotten Fuel Lines... :'(
