A fuel filter was the first thing I added, you should see below the rear mounted tank with Amelia (my daughter who loves my bike). I used the yellowish fuel replacement hose you get form Home Depot. But I cut it a bit too short and it has a very loose fit over the fuel nipples. I will invest in some real fuel line from NAPA and maybe some of those little spring hose clamps.

Thanks for the tips. I will not have a chance to work on Ping! Ping!till this weekend, but then I will report back
