We didn't save your life, just a costly mistake if it had had come off and started a fire! Cheer up, at least we caught it now!

Thanks again guys. Just finished putting in 17gm sliders, 2500lb clutch spring, hit clutch, air intake with K&N filter and new 1/4" fuel line. All thats left is to jet it. Don't have the right jets yet. Going to get 135-145 main jets hopefully one will work. I would like to go out next weekend and shoot new video.

I'm doing the MRP 32mm carb upgrade as well. Below are some photos of what I got. I went with a 1/4 fuel line and an inline fuel valve from dennis kirk. I also got the fuel filters there. Spent about $25 and got my stuff in 2 days. I also did the 1/4 brass hose barb and used a hose to connect it do the tank. I haven't got it installed, yet, but should only take a few minutes. The stock fuel line was tiny compared to the 1/4 stuff.

You'll need to put some thought into where and how you'll support the cut-off valve. Make sure it's solidly attached.

This may be a dumb question, but why would I need to support it? Embarassed It's an inline valve. I have some moose racing wire clamps, but the line is really snug on the fittings and I'd be surprised if they came loose.

Because if the valve isn't supported then everytime you cycle that valve the fuel line will move. It puts more stress on that line right at the clamps on each side of the valve. The line will wear and eventually fail. Of all things to fail this is not one of those that is good. Hot engine and fuel don't mix.

Plus, it's easier to cycle the valve.

Theres a fitting in grainger book,a metric to standard (female- metric end for tank nipple-male thread that would fit the home depot brass.then you could loose the hose.

Hey guys I'm all for upgrading to larger fuel line on my 250, but how are you guys reducing the 1/4 inch line down at the carb? I've tried to put 1/4 line on the carb end but it leaks even with a hose clamp.

Do you have the stock carb? The 32mm is bigger.
