Red elbow updated part #

[fourload]

This is from Port Yamaha's online parts detail. It is #4.

Is the consensus that the red elbow is the way to go? I believe it came on the 17s?

The old one in my 17 is red. Not sure but I think the updated one is black. I just ordered a new one and will compare it to the older one in my 17. On the 18 parts detail it says the 18's already have the new one.

You can carefully drill out the red 90 with a 3/16" drill bit. I did mine today vs buying a new 90.

Yes new one is black and is basically straight through. Red one is necked down to a little hole. After installing mine I tried taking it back off and broke it so I just drilled out the red one no problem. I used a 5/32 just to be on the safe side, but it is plenty open now just like the black one was. Don't forget to order a new clamp as well if you are changing the fitting.

Wonder why the change?

X2 what's the reason to change this out?

I just ordered the updated part. I figured it's cheap so why not.

Some had too high of fuel psi I believe.

I posted this 3 days ago in another thread about cutting out....I will have to go find my post to see if anyone had replied to me. It was something Tom read on FB but I had never seen this.

My new 18 came with red elbow too. Built in July tho.

So you guys say its cause fuel pressure was too HIGH? Interesting.

Just drill it out then?

Yes! If you take it of and look into it you will see it narrows. Its to smal ,its not letting enough fuel from the regulator into the fuel-tank.

I wouldn't drill anything. I would just replace it with the updated part.
