    Is this the right starter for my M1009 CUCV?

    I'd replace the bolts as well if you haven't been using a bracket.... they'd be under extra stress... $15 piece of mind at the dealer... ETA: OP: Nice pics

    return lines

    As for rubber hoses, just buy them by the SAE spec and cut to length: --30r9 are the best hoses --30r6 are cheaper and will work (unless you run bio), and are what your neighborhood auto store will probably stock as "fuel injector' hose. I'd stay away from anything else as it probably is not...

    needing fuel gauge

    Bio tends to float gunk off things and clean them... that said, if all you run is bio without any biocides in it, then stuff can grow in the bio fuel... But running some bio here and there, or just mixing it up to 20% with petro diesel should only 'clean' a system of crud and deposits...
