that's a return line if my memory serves correct. You may not need to replace the a-pump lines but you should at least pull them off the carbs and check the fitting to be sure the check valve isn't stuck. You should be able to swap out the plate. I doubt you can find just the nipple . Get a razor blade and slit the lines instead of trying to yank them off

I would also be careful with that after market air cleaner on the 951. The 97+ hull can be very wet inside especially if a novice is trying to get on and rolls it and the 951 does not like to ingest any water at all. If you never roll it I am sure it will be fine unless you develop the dreaded pipe leak.

Meh those carbs can be cleaned. They have a little rotary brush kit at harbor freight you can buy to clean those up. Racer did it in his 96xp resto with those and he polished an absolute turd sparkly clean

Parts keep arriving daily. I'm almost ready to throw the motors in. Got the old cracked and rigged-up silver cowling off and the new hood on. Bit of a bigger Bit*h than I thought it would be. Especially all the cords and cables going back in, without a hood shock (It shit the bed, new one on way)
Missing some screws also.... this garage needs a damn cleaning

Hey [MENTION=51824]Matt Braley[/MENTION] did I happen to leave my oil pump cable attached to the motor we swapped? I can't find it anywhere
In other news, got the carbs rebuilt, both fuel tanks drained, *cleaned the garage!!!!*, and have started replacing fuel lines. These are not fun in this tight space and all these metal clamps. Can't get a good angle

I have tons of those cables so I'll set a good one aside for you.
Yeah if you pull the seat there is a big rubber plug that gives you access to those lines. Use a 1/4" nut driver rather then a flathead for the clamps and it goes a little smoother.

Oh yeah those clamps are a pain. I use a pair of wire snips to wrestle them off.

Yeah dude, for $20 it's just not worth it. You'll use at least one can of carb cleaner on it. Lol

On those old fuel lines, a lot of them should just pull right off of the fuel sender without even removing the clamps. Try that

Quick question, put the engine back in and hooked up the pos/neg, plugged it up to the mpem, and was gonna test it before I kept putting things in.....
.... but I'm getting nothing. Lights up, but no juice to the starter. Have juice to the solenoid, jumped the solenoid and still nothing. Am I missing something?

Did you hook that ground wire to the ear on the mag cover?
