    1975 evinrude 6hp gas line replacement

    Evening Gents, The gas line from my fuel pump to the carb has sprung a leak. Hoping to be able to replace it quickly, but not sure where I would be able to find the line. Is it a generic size? Any suggestions on where to pick up something like this ? Thanks
