Fuel-delivery and metering tubes are subject to fuel exposure, corrosion and vibration over time. Any wear or blockage can cause mixture imbalance, hard starting or rough idle.
Replace these tubes when:
• Performing a carburetor rebuild or engine restoration
• The original pipes show cracks, corrosion or blocked passages
• You notice uneven mixture delivery or fuel leakage at the carburetor base
• Restoring to factory-correct induction geometry for smooth idle and power.
Installing a new pipe ensures precise fuel/air flow balance, authentic fitment and long-term reliability in your classic Porsche.
