Amazon.com I just need it to help diagnose my bogging issues and get me thru the summer. I'll be replacing it with much higher quality hose later.

I haven't been able to trial the water separator/fuel selector bypass yet, but I went ahead and replaced all of the fuel lines with a clear, reinforced fuel line. Seems like it will hold up well, hopefully better than the clear Tygon line that some people use. I also put some gasket sealant...

If I try this fuel filter/selector bypass, should I use a new fuel line since mine is apparently questionable? Is there a big risk of damaging the carb when running w/o the filter ?

I assume we’re both talking about Pro 1 fuel line (see pic). Looks like the continental is out of stock. I’ve heard really good things about Gates Barricade fuel line as well, will probably spend the extra $ to go with that next time. Unsure if it’s causing the bog issue, but it probably doesn’t...

That’s a great idea, I will definitely try bypassing those next and see what happens. And yes the fuel lines are 1/4” ID, top rated ones on Amazon, probably middle of the road in terms of quality. However, have you heard of fuel lines causing gas to turn orange? When I open up my carb, the fuel...

I have tried that actually. Sometimes that trick works, but after I go make a screw adjustment, seems like something else gets worse. Kinda going in circles. Is it possible to over tighten the carb to the engine intake and damage the gasket? I didn’t think I tightened too much, but maybe it’s...

Thanks for the reply. This is the first time I’ve heard of a possible engine related issue instead of a carb/fuel supply issue. So I’m curious, if it was running great thru last summer, but having issues on day one this spring, can the rotary valve timing be affected without touching the engine...

Hello, I’ve been trying to figure out this issue for a while and finally decided to join the forum because I’m about to give up. I apologize for the long post in advance but I want to provide as much info as I can to avoid guesswork. I have a 1997 GSI and 1997 GTI. They both have the same 717...
