merc 1250 fuel line

[badams270]

Where can I find the fuel lines the run to the carbs, the have threaded ends on them? They appear to be discontinued. Is there a way to get around this?

They have been NLA for years go to a auto parts store and buy the hose in bulk and the right fittings to work on the carbs.

Thats what was thinking. Can it be regular fuel line? Or USCG approved fuel line?

Last Year I posted the parts numbers on the brass fuel fittings you will need. The compression fittings on all my vintage silver blocks had to be replaced with barb/nipple combinations and then ya jus use 5/16 alcohol resistent gas line from yer local NAPA or outboard shop. I don't have the parts or numbers handy here in town, and it maybe weeks before I could put me hands on em. Try a serch here on posts last summer/spring on fuel fittings for a 1250 or 1000, (the 1000 silver blocks had the same loop set up from the two fuel pumps to the three carbs).

Hope you can find the thread. Good luck. JR
