    FLU419 won't start. need help!

    That may not be the officially approved method, but that's how I connected them. And it worked. That long thread is called "SEE, HMMH, and HME owners group", or something close to that. Most everything FLU related has been covered in that one, sometimes repeatedly. Be prepared to spend some...

    FLU419 won't start. need help!

    You really can't use anything but the OE style plastic lines , or rubber hose, I suppose. Of course, now I can't remember if anything was different on the banjo fittings, but I doubt it. Anyway, I just heated the plastic up a bit and pushed it onto the fittings. It may have been described in...

    I didn't need or use any special tools. Just replaced loose or questionable lines as needed. That SEE will be expensive for you if you don't work on it yourself, and without throwing parts at it.

    Well, they do come with the built-in ether system, so it can't be all bad. If used correctly. And as mentioned, don't expect the fuel system to catch up and take over after one quick squirt. I still think you have air leaks in the system.

    I don't think you need to worry about bleeding anything. These things are surprisingly self bleeding. I know many doesn't care for it, but it's easy to sit in the drivers seat and spray some ether into the intake while trying to start them. With a little practice they can also be kept running...

    FLU419 won't start. need help!

    Just remembered...it's Belmetric. And don't forget to ask Matt about sending the washers for the banjo fittings, too. You probably won't need to replace all the fuel lines, but if you can turn one on the fitting, that's a leak point. Also, the gasket on the strainer is a likely source. I...

    I chased several air leaks, and severe bacteria in the tank, for a while. BioBor took care of the bacteria and parts and pieces from Matt (of course I can't remember the company name now) solved the air leaks.
