Chris Wyatt in Fairbanks here. Have you any experience with a leaky connection in a fuel line, where the line crosses the top front of the engine before plunging into it and ending in a tee? Two lines of the same diameter meet at a tube shoved in the ends, with a clamp on either side of the junction. It looks damp, and when I tweak it it squirts fuel. I have not found similar clamps (very narrow, with an unusual crimping) at the dealer or elsewhere. Do you think the fuel lines are bad? The connector pipe split? New clamps needed? I haven't disassembled it yet, as the clamps on it don't seem to be reuseable. Thanks, Chris Wyatt Fairbanks, Alaska '87 Syncro GL
