Oil lines

fathacarl
Does anyone know the minimun size for oil lines for a 750K
The oil tank I have has 5/16 threaded holes for oil lines.
Do I need to weld new hubs to accept larger oil lines or will this work?
                                      Thanks

The chopper guys have been running 3/8'' I.D. hose for years with zero issues. That's pretty much considered the minimum,as far as I know.

Thanks Shiny.  I would be looking at a 1/4" ID at the tank.  I think I better weld in some larger fittings.
I was hoping I wouldn't have to do that.

The 3/8'' hose fittings the chopper guys use dont have a very big I.D. either. You might want to check one out before you get to cutting. It doesn't sound that far off really. Are your fitting 1/4'' pipe thread?
