tri-z fuel pump suction hose

[JohnBeton]

Hello,

Where the fuel pump suction hose connects to the cilinder, does it need sealant or something ?
I rebuild my engine and I connected the hose, but it is very loose in the cilinder, it almost falls out by itself.

Thanks

you might need a new hose or cut it back a little if the end looks stretched. and get a hose clamp

if the barb is loose in the cylinder you can braze it on there...you want to seal it up or it will run lean

oh i missunderstood... the 2 part opoxy works great i use it inside engines when i port them and it holds up.

does anyone know how it is secured or sealed from the factory ?

it is a light press fit... 24 years later some of them are loose

[Bryan Raffa]

sometimes the tighten up with a tap of a hammer.. and yes use a hose clamp...

Thanks, I use a hose clamp, but it is the elbow that comes out of the cilinder, not the hose of the elbow.
Would loctite work ?
