Fuel Hose

 Bloody Mary's sitting on the bar for your Sunday morning eye opener.

Need a little help. Motocross bikes taking up too much garage space and want
to move 1 or 2 to the basement for winter. The fuel hose on 1 is stuck on
the carb nipple. Suggestions for removal would be greatly appreciated. Need
to drain the tank before bringing it in the house.

Thanks for any suggestions.

  Slit it lengthwise at the nipple with a sharp knife or box cutter . Next
spring slit the other end too and install a new hose . It's probably getting
brittle if it won't flex enough to slide off the nipple .

Tourch, to melt it off while fule is still in it?  :)

I mean, no really... what "hose" can possibly be stuck on so bad that a
knife/blade/screw driver can't cut-n-pry it off?

Don't you know how to REMOVE the tank, drain the tank, AND/OR remove
"it's nipple", invert it to drain, FILL WITH WATER to flush, and etc?

Why do they need to brought into yer house in the first place?

Motocross bikes, like Harley's, are water proof from the factory, and
their fuel lines are TYPICALY easy to R&R.


What the FUCK have you done to make them so rotten and brittle that they
can't be easily removed?

Due to my astute reading comprehension I caught the part about them taking
up excess room in his garage. Winter's coming, maybe he'd like to park a car
in the garage..... just a WAG.

Some in this Newsgroup actually own and ride motorcycles and keep them in
our garages. Go figure.

Wedge a flat screwdriver between the cut end
of the hose and the petcock.  Pry it enough
to get the seal broke, then it'll pull off no problem.
