coolant crossover hoses

[nickd]

Has anyone addressed changing the other water/coolant hoses on the Deuce multi-fuel? In addition to the upper and lower radiator hoses there are a couple of short hoses on the right side of the engine that are short straight rubber near the manifold. I havent seen these for sale. Any ideas?

you just get a piece of I think it's 1.5-2"(take a old one to have measured) hose they sale it in one foot length's
get it on some how? I'm working a way to do it easily-ish.

Remove the 6 bolts and take that little manifold off. Still a bit of a chore but makes it easier. I had one start a leakin last year at Aberdeen. Quick trip to NAPA netted me some straight hose, antiseise and gasket paper. I cut the gasket paper with a box cutter but have since bought a cheap gasket punch from Harbor Frieght. WHatever you do, antiseize those bolts. Darned if I cna remember the size of the hose. The "L" shaped coolant hose that goes from the t-stat housing to the oil cooler has the rubber hoses on it too, they are 2"
