can I cut the bad part off and add a new piece to the line?
what is covering the line? do I have to cut past the "spring" looking cover on the line, or will that slip off after I cut the line?

 

yes, you can cut out the bad section and get a couple compression fittings and a new section of line. You will probably have to go past the protective coil around the line. I doubt it will slide off but you can try.

 

That spring stuff will slip off after you cut the line- as long as it isn't rusted solid to the line...

 

 

new lines looking good

do you hear the fuel pump when ya turn the key on?

 

Also, it looks like you have to replace the other lines in that spot- two of them are the evap lines that run to the charcoal canister... I replaced them with 1/4" fuel line.

 

it finally started, maybe I flooded it IDK. it needs a major tune up for sure but it is having trouble at idle.
and the oil gauge goes up/down like the rpm does/at the same time. that make any sense ?
I'll look and see if maybe I knocked a vacuum line loose or something last night while doing the brake line.
how do you change the spark plugs? they look like they will be a pain to get to.

 

turn the key to the ON position listen for the short fuel pump sound to stop.... do this a few times so the Fuel that siphoned down during the fix can get back up there where it belongs. in other words, 'Repressurize the system'.
I'm glad you went with Flared fittings that's the correct way to do it .

 

it was the first time I've done a brake like, wasn't as scary as I thought it would be (thank you Youtube)

 

Thank you giovanni ! haha playing with ya

any ways the spark plugs are easy

just make sure you got a swivel extension and your set
