Need to replace the flop tube in the sky bolt. It is 540 powered I ordered a flop tube from Spruce. Everything looks great except new one is 1/4 pipe and ID of hose and fitting is .205 . Unit I removed is 3/8 pipe and ID of hose and fitting is .285. . I reached out to Steen they advised they don’t make the flop tubes they come in the tanks they sell. My concern is with the smaller hose and fittings fuel flow will be reduced. Does anyone have a source for the flop tube that would match my old one?
Thanks, All
