Seems like an easy find, but none of the marine stores around here carry the small fuel lined that go between the carbs. Engine is a 2002 50hp 2stroke?

make your own. go to parts store and buy whatever diameter line you need and cut to length. or is it some special line?

Believe its 5/16 ID and needs to be fuel rated.

any auto parts store, get the regular gas line not the high pressure line. They're usually good up to 50 psi or so.

called mercury and they said the line was 5/16. i know it is not that big, but they insisted. I know because its smaller then 1/4 and bigger then 1/8. Would that make it 3/16?

thanks
