I'm trying to help a friend out on this situation.
The lines are leaking fuel, where they tighten on to the crossover tubes.
I have to admit, I'm not familiar with crossover tubes, nor did I know they existed 5 hours ago.
How do they connect to the injector? And how does the fuel return work?
We tried lossening the clips that group the lines together, and tried loosening and re-touring the lines, moving one way or another but fuel is still leaking out around where the line bolts onto the crossover tube sticking out of the cover.
Also, weird part, the fuel doesn't just drip out of the fitting, there are air bubbles.
Could the crank case vent be restricted? you can see vapor coming out of the vent tube??
He says it never leaked until one day, ran out of fuel, and loosened them to try and start it again, to purge air out.
What is the answer here, remove crossover tubes, inspect, replace if burred, new o-rings, and re-install?
The fuel and bubbles are coming from around the threads of the crossover tube.
And just curious, how do the crossover tubes connect to the injectors? o-rings?
