Merci Eddie pour cette nouvelle vidéo 👍. Vous contribuez à faire connaître ce véhicule et vous en prenez soin. Quand même, c'est plus original de croiser votre cyclecar, qu'une voiture moderne 😉. Je profite du message pour vous souhaiter une Bonne et Heureuse Année 2025 🎉. Salutations 👋
My two cents is to get the line from tank to the carb as direct as possible so the gravity feed doesn't have to take too many twists and turns, and fit the filter somewhere in the middle. Keeping it away from the cylinder is a good idea, you could route it along the firewall, though will you run it long enough for that to be a problem. Most importantly, thank you for sharing this great project with us 😊
Fuel pipe a bit near to the head, expect vapour lock. Make a longer pipe with cooling coils in the wind and perhaps a 90degree bend after the tap.. Nice Morgan sharing the garage though...
1:31 Like the others are saying, man; I'd put a 90 degree fitting to point the cutoff valve towards the firewall, shift the filter a few inches closer to the carb, and curve the line round the back, under the cables, to hook up in front. You'd have a lot less line to bend, and it wouldn't need to swoop down and back up before the filter- it'd just be one short, flat curve.
The line out of the fuel filter looks rather close to the cylinder. If you run the car long enough, the heat from the cylinder could vapourize fuel in the line which may result in rough running. I would have used a 90deg fitting at the bottom of the fuel filter to get the line as far away from the cylinder as possible. The new shaft looks terrific thanks to the good machining.
I love it. My kind of technology. After decades of reliants, SV, 600, 700 and 750 cc, this looks very reasonable transport to me. I cant help it. Al the best for 2025. Keith. in Europe.
You could still use the copper pipes as fittings for a rubber gas line if you were worried about the stress on the connections? I enjoy your videos and hope to have a cycle someday.
Thank u Eddie for this lovely piece of art but with all my repect, i agree with Michiana. A rubber hose is preferable to disconnect the carburettor circuit from the fuel tank and prevent breakage due to engine vibration.
I think so too, although so far it has been fine I do miss just being able to pull the hose off to drain the tank! I shall keep my eye out for other suitable options
My two cents having to have bent many lines on my projects. Have you considered cupro nickel lines? Might not look period correct but they make nice bends so easily. Only thing I use now
Love it! Thank you for sharing this journey, great video! Top fuel dragster helping out a 105 year old Cyclecar very cool.
I’m truly enjoying you cycle car and am toying with an idea of building one here in the Philippines, out of old motorcycle parts

I was going to much much the same thing regards vapour lock.

Vw beetles had a small gauze filter inside the tank like lots of motorcycles

Great video, thanks !
Anneal the pipes on the bends. Fit an inline glass filter, dead simple, you can see the dirt and they look old fashioned.
