 Posted: Fri Feb 07, 2020 5:30 pm Post subject: Hose from oil tank |
 |
|
My first time here. I just bought a used firestar11.I have been replacing rubber parts that are cracking.I have oil injection on the 503.The hose has cracking and needs replacing. It says goodyear 3/8 (9.5mm) is this a original hose?It seems to be 3’.Where would I buy a new one?I have not called Kolb yet. I thought I would message you guys first.Also> what is the process after removing the hose and putting the new one on with filter already in line?Would I connect the oil tank side first keeping the opposite side high above the tank so it didn’t come out the end.When ready drop the end and let the oil fill the hose before connecting and pinch end when full and connect.I realize I would lose a small amount of oil in the process. I would have a small container under the areas.thanks in advance.

Welcome to the asylum.
Easiest way (IMO) would be to remove the hose from the pump, block it with your finger until you can get it to a catch container and drain the tank. Then remove the entire hose and filter. NAPA sells good quality oil hose, I have had no problems with it.
If you have a suitable plug, plug the pump end of your hose and fill the tank with oil, check your oil filter for air, and tap on it until the air bubble goes back up to the tank, loosen the plug and get a good flow of oil down the tube into your catch container, block it with your finger and stick it on the pump, clamp & tighten everything up.
I use a syringe to make sure my pump is full of oil before connecting the hose, but just in case you have an air bubble in the pump, pull on your oil pump cable such that the pump is wide open and clip an alligator clip or similar on it to keep the pump at max, start the engine and let it run at around 3,000 until it starts to really blow smoke. Shut er down, remove the clip, check your pump mark alignment, and you ought to be good to go.
To the other inmates: did I forget anything?

I used this method when converting from Pennzoil Air cooled 2 stroke oil to
TCW-3 (never mix the two as they congeal when mixed. A Pennzoil engineer
confirmed this, it's not an urban myth). The technique solves the air
bubble problems when changing hoses, too. Make a small amount of 50:1
premixed oil and run it for the time it take for the oil injection system
to work out any air bubbles. Yeah, it will smoke a bit and if you run it
too long (like hours not minutes) it can foul the plugs, but it solves all
the mess issues trying to get the bubbles out manually.
