Two fuel tubing lines routed outside the fuze: one for fuel and one for vent return. The beauty of this approch is that when I am fuelnig, all fuel goes to the tank. There is no risk to flood the carb. See pic 2. The jack before the 4 tube connectors is for the glow plug ignitor t be remotely connected. I found it is hard to locate the glow plug when YS is inverted.

I used a CF tube with 4-40 threaded rods JB welded at boh ends to build a push-rod for rudder. Saved some weight. see Pic 1.



How do you stop the fuel line from popping off during flight?

I have 3 YS engines and I used to put clamps on all my connections thinking they would fly off. Over the years I got lazy and stopped using the clamps totally. I have never had one pop off.
