It's okay to run a longer fuel line in a nice easy loop.
And doesn't matter if either fuel line is longer than the other.
The fuel lines don't need to be the same length, and don't need to be even close to the same length.

Good Fortune! :)

depending on what is in the way you may be able to fit the filter between the carburetors.

So far I've tried various lengths, the one that looks the best is very short, only about4 inches, would the screen at bottom of petcock provide ample protection, our would you guys recommend a90° filter?

You may want to try a Golan Super-Mini fuel filter. They are small (see picture) but filter out tiny particles while still permitting lots of flow. The one shown has the 5/16” barbs. They also sell one called the “Mini” but it is longer than the “Super-Mini.” $41.25 at Ronayers.com. Here’s their spiel :

Filter Element: Designed and engineered for the aerospace industry, for rugged, high temperatures, and extreme filtration environments, made of pleated, 304 stainless steel, 10 micron (.000392"), 1.000” Diameter. Totaling four square inches of effective filtration area, super mini filter provides a maximum flow of 6 gallons per minute simultaneously with no restriction. Filter elements are washable and reusable indefinitely, cleaned easily with air or soluble rinse. Bodies: Machined on CNC from 6061 aluminum, chrome plated or clear bright anodized finish. Ed

41 dollars is alot of money, I had a mini filter aboutlike that on there when I bought it and it worked fine even for a little plasic filter. why not find a few cheap little filters if you have to take it off there when it clogs anyways.

If it was a cheap plastic filter you would throw it away. However, this one you simply clean the stainless steel element and reuse (and it won't melt in the heat of the engine). ;) Ed

I never seen one melt before. If I used 6 K&N inline fuel filters, part number 720-610 at 7 dollars a piece @ jp cycles that would be 42 dollars.
