Hose size between regulator and carb

Hose size between regulator and carb - 08/16/17 07:40 PM

What size hose is recommended between the regulator and the carburetor? -6 or -8? 950hp street car.1150 Dominator.

I thought I heard somewhere not to go too big. Something about the signal at the needle and seat.....

Either seems to work fine. I use -6 and have seen motor making way more than mine use the same.

Are you running 2 lines to the carb or 1.. but
a #6 is fine

I should have asked and specified that I also run 2 lines to the carb from the regulator. If I was going to run one single line from the regulator to the carb w/ a fuel log or something similar, I'd probably use a -8 to be safe.

If your running two separate lines to the float bowls #6 is fine up
