Fuel line orientation
« on: May 31, 2021, 01:47:00 PM »
Does anyone have diagram or perhaps photo of the routes of fuel lines from a CB 750 K2 tank to the carburetor T fittings?

Thank you. A lot of information. More specifically, I would like to know the orientation of the left side T fitting on the K2 carbs. Does the T point down or up? Another words, does the fuel hose go over the carbs or under?

On my K3 with its right hand side petcock with 2 outlets I was able to run 6" and 12" lengths of fuel line from the petcock, over the carb insulators and through the holes in the carb stay plate (holes between carbs 3&4 and 1&2) to the inlet T's. The T's were pointing up at higher than a 45 degree angle, and I was able to get clamps on the hoses.

Hope it helps.
