i agree with doghead. The hoses are ready available. The selector valve can be rebuilt. I did this to my 931 and spent less than 100,00. I had this same problem and the difference in throttle response after you change out everything is well noted. Plus she will start much easier.You will still need to replace half the hoses.
For the cost of 4 extra feet of hose and 2 orings, I would fix it to original.
Just my thoughts.
Some have eliminated the valve, and that should work too.(if it and the hoses are your issue.
Remember, the primer lines can also be your issue.
If you just replace all the lines and orings, you may be good for another 30 years.
Are you planning to use the electric fuel pump just to prime?
I don't think you can continuously pressure feed the PT pump without negative results.
OuchI want to update my fuel issues. I found one major problem, after removing the spare tire carrier (soon to be replaced with a Super Single tire carrier). As you can see from the two pictures, the tank I was using (passenger) had a severely crushed fuel line.
