New 6×2 fuel line solution

9080K-E 2

Say hi to our new fuel fitting. 9080K-E – Extended SuperSeat fuel hose fitting. Most people won’t need one of those – the regular 9080K fitting will do a great job. But in certain circumstances – mostly on 6×2 intakes – this is a great idea that solves a real problem.

On a typical Stromberg 97 3×2 set-up, most people mount the linkage with the sliding rod pushing the back carburetor open, but on a 6×2 progressive linkage, the sliding rods on each bank must pull the front carbs open instead, because of clearance issues with the back-bar. This WAS a problem because on a front-facing 3×2 progressive, the sliding rod (in the top adjustment hole) would rub on the underside of the center carburetor hose. You can’t move the sliding rod to a lower hole because the bottom hole is taken by the link to the back-bar. And you can’t swap them or those back-bar links hit the back carb fuel inlet! You may have seen pics of old school 6×2 progressives with slider rods bent like a big L shape to miss that center carb fuel inlet.

9080K-E simply moves the hose and clamp a little further out to leave a gap for the sliding rod to clear.  So no linkage interference and no bendy rods either.

Of course, there are rare instances on a 3×2 where the progressive linkage must pull the front carb open, and again, the 9080K-E is ready to solve the same clearance issues. Available at your local Stromberg dealer now!
