Thanks for yours and other thoughts on this one. Whatever the reason I am
just pleased that the replacement of the (dubious quality) fuel line cured
that problem. It also caused me to re-assess my engine failure on take off
procedures!

> Thinking more about Roland's problem, I wonder whether he could have had a
damaged end with the inner part seperated from the outer, which allowed a
flap to get pushed in when forcing the hose on to the connector, partially
blocking the lumen, only allowing adequate fuel flow for small throttle
openings, and having no route for a fuel leak to make things obvious. A
burst of full throttle might push the flap a bit further in or simply use up
the fuel in the carb bowls.It is easy to imagine that further handling of
the pipe could then produce a full thickness split. David Joyce
