Other Don't Use this!!! {Fuel Lines}

[garretonufer]

So i ordered this stuff back in february (2012) and after 4 months of extremely mild riding, this crap deteriorated and gummed up my carbs, and cuased one needle to get stuck in the seat.

$225 later, i should be up and running per Art (Black Jack)

apparently this line has a resin type coating on the inside and over time the fuel eats it away and lets it into the fuel system.
It has gummed up on my fuel selector, reuined both diaphrams in the carbs and like mentioned, prevented a needle from functioning.

Art says it usually takes a year or 2, but who knows how long this was sitting on a shelf before it got to me.

Warning to eveyone out there, DON'T BUY THIS CRAP


if you have this stuff in your ski, replace it ASAP

I work at a small engine shop and Toro had a big recall on similar line. Made in China where the Ethanol in the fuel isnt as harsh as ours and its melts the line.

exactly, seadoo used this from something like '96 to '01 per art. and letting dealers and repair shops make some money when the fuel lines went bad after the warranty expired.

Carbs needed tuning and rebuild. He found the problem right away, who knows how long I would have chased my tail on this

Ugh many nightmares on my doo's with the 'tempo' fuel lines. I use the gray and black expensive stuff from Trident now, can handle high ethanol content fuels.

x2 im glad i got that oem line from you before i smoked a top end. i didn't have any symptoms of air in my fuel supply but i did start running rich when i replaced the crappy clear blue stuff. leads me to believe my pulse line was leaking. that fuel line had only been on the ski for a year and i spent way to much on it

So how's the best way to get OEM without ordering by part number from a dealer and paying retail?

 

[garretonufer]

sounds like put an order through maniac.

paying for peace of mind, to me is a solid investment.

correct me if i'm wrong but didn't you recently pay for someone to build you a RTR rickter?

I buy everything I can from the Jetmaniac, but he doesn't carry OEM fuel line.
Wish he did, my PayPal would be sent already.

Guess he's holding out on me!
I called him a couple of weeks ago and he said he didn't have it. I probably asked him if he had it in stock, maybe it is something he has to order from Yamaha by part number (which is what I am trying to avoid because of the expense).
