Replacing a fuel line on a 1982 Suzuki motorcycle is a complex task that requires careful measurement and force. The process involves disconnecting the fuel line from the throttle bodies and the tank, pulling and twisting the connector off the hose, and then reattaching a new fuel line. It is important to ensure that the connector fits snugly in the hose and that there is enough slack between the tank and the throttle bodies.
| Characteristics | Values |
|---|---|
| Step 1 | Disconnect the fuel line from both the throttle bodies and the tank, making sure that you do not lose any of the plastic clips |
| Step 2 | Pull and twist the connector off the hose, this will take some force, do not use pliers because you can compress the connector |
| Step 3 | Take the connector to your local auto parts store, where you need to pick up some fuel injector hose, make sure that the barbed portion of the connector will fit snugly in the hose (there are a couple of sizes like 1/4'' 3/8'') |
| Step 4 | Measure the hose so that there is enough slack between the tank and the throttle bodies, it will take about 5-6'' of hose |
| Step 5 | Put the clamp on the hose, then the fuel connector, tighten the clamp, and reinstall the new fuel line to the throttle bodies and the tank |
| Step 6 | Call your friend that also has a Suzuki, tell him about it, and let him use the other half of the injector hose |

Disconnecting the fuel line from the throttle bodies and the tank
After the fuel line is disconnected, you will need to take the connector to your local auto parts store to pick up a new fuel injector hose. Make sure that the barbed portion of the connector fits snugly into the hose; there are a few different sizes available, such as 1/4'' and 3/8''. You will also need to purchase two small hose clamps that will fit over the outside diameter of the injector hose.
Before installing the new fuel line, it is important to measure the hose to ensure there is enough slack between the tank and the throttle bodies. This will typically require about 5-6'' of hose. It is always a good idea to measure twice and cut once to avoid any mistakes.
Finally, you can put the clamp on the hose, followed by the fuel connector. Tighten the clamp and reinstall the new fuel line to the throttle bodies and the tank.
