May try Ebay or Amazon for NOS. Maybe Elgin can find one on BossWeb.

Thanks, Unless he's got a different source I just spoke with Carol @ C & O and they don't have it and she checked some dead part list and called no joy. So the insurance is paid I tried to find the part if it fails and goes boom I tried to do my thing!

If Carol at C&O can't find it.......you might look for some diaphragm material and rebuild yours.

ahh thanks, rebuild a molded fuel line? Might have to educate me on that if you can.

Molded fuel line????? And this whole time I thought you were looking for a lift pump.

A normal section of fuel line routed correctly can replace the molded fuel line.

I wish it was that simple. Its a hard tight turn in 2 places that will probably kink if regular line is used. A BRILLIANT Rude design!

The box you are referring to is the air box? There is a bunch of extra space inside there. Been replacing them for years, just make a loop in the hose.

so your saying turn an 8" hose into a 18" hose?

[ELGIN]

Don't think I posted any lengths but I and other have gotten around molded hose for years and none of those hose are required to be any certain length.

I've done that before on an old carb 60 hp on the middle carb....longer so it don't kink.

Length references were hypothetical

I'll look at it again but not my idea of correct.

[ELGIN]

I think we have established the hose to make it correct is no longer available, we are only offering you a resolution to your issue.
