fuel line question. '72 r75/5

[stoney011971]

hey out there. new guy here. i have a 72 r 75/5. haven't had it on the road in a while and a couple fuel lines are deteriorating and leaking.
can anyone direct me to some schematics of the hose that comes out of the engine and connects to the petcock and carb. i need to replace
the hose that goes through the engine and comes out on both sides. does it simply pull out and is it easy to thread my new hose through?

Unless somebody did something weird that hose is simply a crossover hose connecting the "T" near the petcock on the right hand side to the other "T" on the left hand side. It balances the fuel flow to the two carburetors masking any flow differences from the two petcocks.

Welcome to the forum! That fuel line that crosses over is not held in place by anything, but it can be difficult to pull out...probably even harder to push it from one side to the other...pushing on a rope! Here's a picture of what that interior looks like. I don't have the fuel hose in place, but the big red line gives an idea where the fuel line will go. Probably easier to remove the left-side clam shell cover over the filter. You'll have to remove the air tube to the carb on that side first. Once you do that and take out the air filter, it will be easy to remove and replace the fuel line.
