How is a gas line routed on a Torpedo?

Post by DHort » Fri May 13, 2022 4:48 pm

Torpedo or Speedster both have their gas tanks behind the seat instead of under them. Is the gas line routed directly to the frame and then up to the carb, or is the line routed straight to the transmission and then to the carb? Where or how many support clamps are used? 1 or 2?

Bravo Mark!

I used that document to route a line for a friend's Torpedo 2 years ago and could not find it, thinking it was part of the MTFCA forum somewhere. I'd saved it as a valuable document, but did a poor job of documenting it by name.
