I have a 2001 RX that I recently purchased. The ski ran pretty good but I think carbs may need adjusted some and I have also read quite a bit about fuel lines being replaced? What do I need to look for to identify if my lines need replaced? I think my idle needs adjusted so why I am learning how to do this I may as well replace the lines if needed.

You'll need to replace the fuel lines, clean the main fuel filter, clean or replace the fuel selector valve and at least clean the carb. filters.
This link will explain everything in detail, pay particular attention to the links, there's a lot of good information here.

The only point where I differ is the hose clamps, I use quality 1/4" cable ties, I think they clamp better, easier to use, and cheaper. If you use the cable ties, get good ones, I bought mine at Graybar Electric, Panduit brand, get the black ones.

Great read...and good info..thanks..I'm pretty handy but the carbs scare me a bit..Might go ahead and change the lines then find someone local to clean the carbs and change filters...looks a little challenging to me..I also have a 01 GTX that probably needs the same thing. Both are low hour machines..50 on RX 70 on GTX....so hopefully nothing is to junked up..
O.K. good deal, just do one at a time, tape the new hose to the old hose and just pull it through. You only have to replace the fuel delivery hoses, you can leave the vent lines.
I think the 951 uses some 3/8" fuel line, not sure how much, hate to tell you this I've never done a 951, but there are guys on this form that have.
If we need to we'll get help for Dr Honda.

On second thought, why don't you wait and see if you need a new one? It's easy enough to bypass the valve and install the new one later. It's 35.00 you might not need to spend.

Wow, you might want to check with Parker Yamaha, or EBay. If I remember I got mine from EBay, but it was an aftermarket part. Of course the other option in to clean the one you have. If you clean the one you have, don't use carb. cleaner, I think I ruined mine when I cleaned it.
Take it apart and let it soak in Castrol Super Clean or equivalent.

You shouldn't need to remove the linkage, take them both out at the same time. Just remove the linkage (cable) from the front, mag. side carb. Should just be 2 nuts holding the cable. Loosen the nuts, there's a little round metal piece that goes in a notch in a semicircular piece on the carb. I'm going from mine which is a 787 but should be similar.
This is really kinda hard to explain, do you have a manual?
