Re: concerns about flare fitting on fuel pump and carburetor
If you’re not good at flaring (like most of us) then just buy the already flared lines available at most parts places. They come in different lengths with different ends.
When you install any flared fitting, just snug it up then loosen it, snug up harder, loosen again and repeat going a little tighter each time. This process heats the metal slightly and the two surfaces mate. Smooths them togethor. Once they’re mated and leak free you can remove them and install them again without going thru the first time process again.
And don’t use any sealer on the flare threads.
