2012 FLSTC Fuel Lines "HELP"
Bike is a 2012 FLSTC. I am changing out the fuel regulator housing in the tank and i am having a hard time trying to purchase the 2 fuel lines in the tank. The 2 lines are the check valve and the fuel line together and the other is fuel line that goes from the pump to the regulator. I have searched on line and the dealer is no help. Any help is greatly appreciated

I found the line from the tank to the intake here: https://www.denniskirk.com/goodridge...prd/188578.sku .
Then I located a new check valve assembly: https://www.jpcycles.com/product/100...y-oem-62189-08
While I am replacing the fuel filter, I do not plan to change the "other" internal hose at this time... hope that's not a mistake...
Searching thru the parts catalog (https://serviceinfo.harley-davidson....iew?id=273167#) I found H-D numbers and then googled away to locate other parts.
Hope this helps...

I have not done this myself, but I have read where some people just replace the hose with a good quality, submersible fuel line hose like the Gates #27097. My understanding is that versus OEM tubing, the good quality fuel hose is much stiffer than the thin tubing used OEM... not sure if that would cause any issues with reassembly/fitment or not..
Not sure what key words to use, but I have read threads about it on this and other forums... maybe try a search and see what you find..
Otherwise... be safe and just get the OEM parts...
Good luck with the repair...

Hope it all works out for you! I'm still waiting on the check valve line & fuel filter to arrive... If I had any idea how slow J&P would be with my order, I'd gone with Amazon...

Parts finally showed up and with lots time and frustration... I finally got the new check valve & filter installed.
Now for the $64,000 question: What's the majik process to get everything "primed" again?
The bike fire a couple of times but then quits.
I'm guessing some sort of vapor lock/air-in-line problem???
TIA!
