Can someone who has an older Monster (I have a 97 M750), take a picture under their tank of the fuel filter and hoses? I'm having an issue with a hose coming out of the filter pinching and cutting off the fuel. I want to make sure that everything is going the way it should.

Often it is the short one in the pic that semicollapses and causes problems like fuel starvation.
What is your issue?

i have the hose out of the filter going out the back, so when the tank is down it's almost horizontal.  between the tank and the tank's fuel outlet sort of thing.  give it enough length to go back, bend down and around (near the suspension rocker) and back up to the vacuum tap.  you can get spring type things to go around the outside of the hose to stop them kinking - http://www.gates-unicoil.com/ - is one.  or just a spring big enough to go over the tube.

I'll take a pic of it. The other hose is kinking.

I looked at parts diagram and it looks like my hose is way too short. Does anyone know what size hose is used? The parts diagram just had a part number and nothing else.
