Humboldt Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) Does anyone have a source for the hoses that go to the vent tank (after the filler) coming and going from main tank? The two I have are marked 3910 (snorkel shaped and 3905 with a mild 90 degree bend. PS, I traded my son my 72 510 goon for this 74 610, orange, hence "the Pumpkin". I painted the steelies with barbeque paint, put in 2" exhaust with turbo muffler, did minor cleanup/amenities and fixed the headlights, so far. It has a Weber 32/36 on the L20b. PPS I can't figure out how to copy pix. I used to be able to. Insert existing attachment . . . huh? PPPS will it mess anything up to run it with the kinked lines? I have already stripped the air pump and other useless pollution control. These vent tank lines had completely rotted and were gassing me out big time!

datzenmike Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 I use the "Insert other media" bottom right of your post page just above the Submit Reply. Not much sense having a kinked hose, they have to vent.. Quote Link to comment
Humboldt Posted July 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Trying submit other media again. It says I "don't have existing attachments". wtd? Do I have to go somewhere and generate an "existing attachment"? These damned hoses were venting alright . . . right to my lungs and brain. maybe kinked is better than that, but if I could get a source for those pre-bent hoses I'd bloody my hands again and tear that mother f-er out and do it right this time. Your 710 doesn't have this feature, right? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 OH YEAH it sure does have that basket of snakes but it's working so I covered it back up and try to forget about it. X fingers. As it is the fuel shuts off with about 2 liters left to go. On long trips I have to squirt the gas in and wait for it to settle and repeat till it's full. I assume this is all the hoses.

Humboldt Posted July 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 I will try the photo stuff later. I am just back from slamming drums for 2 hours with surf rock group Band O Loko, and doing that sh!t drains the energy out of a 68 year old! At least I get a temporary reprieve from breathing gas fumes. I will probably just drive the Pumpkin for a while and see what happens. Hopefully it won't blow up. There's gotta be some guy in Thailand, hopefully not stranded in a cave, who has these vent tank hoses for sale. Quote Link to comment
Humboldt Posted July 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Schlepped drums to a Relay for Life cancer benefit gig this afternoon using the Pumpkin as transpo. It worked fine. No gas problem even with kinky hoses. Only problem is it's such a chick magnet and I'm happily married 38 years. Quote Link to comment
Humboldt Posted July 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 I could only get one photo to download on Photobucket. https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipOEZK70M_lMYuqujU92ZP6CDUuyc7xJ_Poy3W9G4YoxHuqjr7BMcEOI0ru50zO3_w?key=RGNRU05rNnFqbTNNUWZBUVBGdWNiQmtEQ2txZUtn Quote Link to comment
Humboldt Posted July 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 I'll figure it out eventually. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Maybe shorten it or a piece of coil spring inside? Quote Link to comment
Humboldt Posted July 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipO2bsB7LGkLS_ZuLxWXHPqZrflcfDM0Ezd83IYS6dJOBXHObZdVZgDVnwMjNRSoQQ?key=ekFJSVBtVnkxaFhtbVN5QTdWbXFGWURkcXpZZ1VB Here is "the Pumpkin".Hope it is visible. I wire wheeled the steelies and barbeque painted. Then shod with brand new "Sailun" tires. Well, at least the rims are 14's! I'm nickel and diming it, although it ain't a dime. Unless 610's count.

Humboldt Posted July 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Here's Photobucket if the last one didn't work.
