Topic: clogged fuel tank crossovers CB350, creative solutions asked for

[carnivorous chicken]

cut the bend end off the studs...så only the straight ends stick up...then drill straight Down...and use some safty clips to hold the tube ekstra safty on the short studs

This is what I've done in the past.

That was the easy way but I wanted to keep the crossovers if possible.  All is good to go with the tank.  Yet more photos

 Ahhh - that tire still has a lot of life in it, makes the ride more interesting  -- but it was put on backwards--Whoops

He's got enough extra fuel line to run a syphon from the car next to him at the stop light (refill while in traffic; very clever!)

That is the front direction arrow

Do they make any flexible drill type tool that can be used for this purpose ?

I an thinking, the end of the speedo cable, did you sharpen it, make it more drill like, or perhaps like a spade drill ? So it can actually cut..
Get the part to the corner with a drill...
 I am thinking if you had a thick piece of  copper wire, sharpened.. About 1/2 the hole diameter...it may start bending while cutting, and follow around the corner. Turn slowly.

I know that cable 'inner' is strong,possibly use a large dia. cable 'inner' from another application like an automobile clutch cable of the correct dia. to fit inside that bend and maybe solder the end of it first..

The speedo cable had a rounded point to the end, in combination with the MEK solution it worked.  I was thinking of sharpening it but it worked as is, probably would have been quicker if sharpened.  Most likely attempting to sharpen a twisted cable would have frayed it.
