Subject:      Advice on replacing injector hose please...
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hi,

I noticed a slight gasoline odor coming from the driver side rear vent on my 87 Westy. Long story short, there's a small crack in the fuel hose from the fuel manifold to the injector on cylinder 3.

Obviously I need to replace that hose (put all new hoses when Boston Bob rebuilt the engine five years ago). My question is do I need to remove the injectors from the head to facilitate replacement, or can it be done with the injectors in place?

Any other suggestions or tips greatly appreciated.
