i'm running 5/8 line from pump to regulator then 1/2 inch from reg to cool can then to carb do you think that's hurting anything.

there are people on here that are more knowledgable than me on this subject,there is a science to it,but I would look at carb or ignition.JMO

If it's holding good fuel pressure going through the traps, then it's just fine.
