I know you can put big fuel line from tank to carb but I was wondering about the pipe coming out of the sending unit. Does somebody make a bigger lined sender or could you braze a new one in?? :shrug: Thanks for any help!!

When I did this, I could not find anyone who made a larger supply line mounted in the factory sender.
I removed the factory 3/8 line, and fabricated a 1/2 line bent to the same image. I used a jewelers torch to braze it in the opening. The filter sock WILL slide over the 1/2" line. The mounting flange is pretty thin, so don't get it too hot if you do this.
I epoxied the sending unit onto the 1/2" line in it's same removed position, and it's still working to this day.

Cool thanks for the info guys! slapper and gp, don't have any pics of this by the way??

I'll check when I get home. I know I have some pics of it hooked up, but not sure if I have any of just the fitting on the sender housing

EDIT: added the word pics
