    Why is there a conflict between my air cleaner and this fuel line? What is the fuel line to carburetor fitting/hookup supposed to be?
    Thank you

    By "conflict" do you mean interference? Looks like the fuel line orientation is good; can't say the same for the spacer in the pic; definitely bubba'd. What air cleaner are you running? A pic would be helpful...

    I won't have a picture to upload to photo-bucket until after work. The air filter housing is the non oil bath type. Are most applications plumed this way? Or is there usually a fitting?

    Read this and make your own spacer and clear what you need to - V6 Air Cleaner Options

    Hope this helps you too. Mine had to be high enough to clear the manual choke cable.

    Thanks for that pic. I was thinking of making an aluminum spacer on the lathe.
