Jason1974 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) When i bought my hyper 7 the person told me that i needed to blow through the petrol pipe until you see the fuel just enter the engine, so when i tried what the person said you couldn't see the fuel in the pipe as the pipe is the same colour as byron fuel so i don't know how the other person managed. So i'm thinking of buying a new pipe but i was wondering what colour fuel pipe do you use Edited October 3, 2011 by natasha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingscott Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Clear..... However dont do the blow thing, just put trottle open and pull it over ten times. This is ample to prime it. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason1974 Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 Will this work with a starter box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazj10 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 to prime with starter box, put finger over exhaust and give a 2 second blast of the starter , although i never prime when using a starter box, it starts straight away anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigbrown79 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Clear from the tank to carb then bright green on the return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoothybb Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 As above, always clear from tank to carb but I've got a total mix of pipes so whatever I fit back on for the pressure line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooBoonix Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 green for tank to carb and blue for pressure line, lol, i can see my optifuel go through it so it dont bother me haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin3171 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Bright orange and lime green. I use a primer bulb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adolf hamster Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 i tend to buy clear line, although i think my firestorm had yellow when i got it. the blowing method can be done without seeing the fuel, all you need to do is wait until you can feel the change in pressure caused by the fuel hitting the carb then give an extra wee puff. personally thought, i currently have a filter/primer bulb setup and it makes life so much easier, prime till it reaches the carb, one extra squeeze and then it'll fire up no bother.

.AJ. Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 clear so you can see if there is any air bubles in the lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumper Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 translucent blue because they ran out of clear when i went Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan13 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I use Pink! lol I just swap around. I just take the filter off and block the pipe and pull it through untill fuel blows out the carb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Clear for me ...always. I want to see what's happening! Having had fuel problems before from a leaking primer bulb, I just blow down the pressure pipe to prime. Being able to see air bubbles in the fuel line tells you you have a problem you might otherwise not detect. I know I am not alone in having fuel line issues, and bubbles in the fuel gives you overheating, poor running and misfires that you will spend ages trying to tune out......
