Its called a tridon CAW clamp. I personally don't like them. I use regular triton worm drive hose clamps.
To remove them I usually use a flat head screwdriver and twist it to loosen the crimp. Some of the more stubborn ones I have had to use dikes to cut them off. There is a special tool to fasten them and one to remove them too. That's another reason I don't use them.

Won't hurt if I replace them with these, right ? Saves me the trouble of grinding off the old clamps to pull them out

replaced most of the fule hoses except the vent hose, replace fuel selector too.
Before I start the engine, do I need to prime the fuel or bleed the air, is there such thing? any gotchas before I fire her up?

Project done. She fired right up. I did some priming thou. Prefilled the hose between the filter and the carb with fuel, then connected hose to the filter , then filled up the filter with fuel.
Question, what is this grey line between the carb and the crankcase

I could be mistaken but that looks like the original tempo lines between the 2 carbs still, it is definitely at least the original clamps

yeah, I left a few inches of the grey line coming out of the carb, it didn't look like i had good clearance to do a good job with the ziptie or clamp. I'll take of this when I do the carbs in a few months. The inside of the grey line looks pretty good actually, no cracks/deterioration.

That is an oil line that goes to the rotary valve, it’s 12mm, those lines don’t usually ever need changing, just the 3/32 lines that @tobytd mentioned. I personally like to order those small oil lines from brp because of there importance I like to be sure they are the exact correct ID and I feel better about the quality.

Before got started on the project, I Bought some no brand fuel hose on Amazon for about $1/ft, I didn't read any reviews cause I didn't think much about it. The night before the install, I read some reviews saying the hose turns the fuel green etc, so I filled up mine with fuel and waited overnight. Next morning, it turned into this, so I went to O'Reilly and picked up some new ones for about $3/ft.
Not sure what it is, anyone had the same experience? Is the hose no good?

I also bought cheap fuel line from amazon but didn’t use it, I’ve been using continental fuel line, roughly 50.00 for a 25’ roll on amazon. From what I read the cheap stuff will get brittle and crack within a year or less.
