86 1.8 GL preheater hose

[pheasant]

Anyone know off hand what size the preheater hose is? Blew a heater hose
and while replacing it noticed the preheater was looking ragged and torn.
Didn't have anything to measure it with, and raining now so hoping someone
could tell me what the diameter is so can pick up a piece.
Thanks.

I don't know right off, but AutoZone can match it up for you if you take
them a chunk.

Hi Mark.

Anyone know off hand what size the preheater hose is?

The one that runs up to below the carb? 3/8 inch IIRC.
And by all means, replace that sucker while you have things apart
enough to reach it; it's a total PITA to do on the side of the road.
(Don't _even_ ask how I know . . . ;-)

ByeBye! S.
