Thanks Jonathan. I ordered the hose from partzilla last week but they just told me it is back ordered :(
So a 4 mm hose from autozone will work just fine without the need for connectors?
I went to 2 autozones and they were out of the 4mm one.

Thanks agan

The only place that I could locally source metric hose was O'reilly's. Autozone and Advance only carry standard.

I may be off a bit with my guesstimator, but 4mm hose is very standard in the Metric world. It's cheap enough that even if I'm wrong, I'll only owe you a Sam's Club soda.

No O'reilly's around here... Any other thoughts?

Not a lot. A lot of autozones, sam's, walmarts. I'll check with local autonparts. And i am going to go here tomorrow:
http://circlecycle.net they should have it right?

Jonathan, is that line going to fit on both of those nipples? One is substantionaly larger than the other which is why I suggested the adapter until he can get the proper line.

Hey Mole2.. That has been my concern. The nipple on top of the carburetor is very very very small, I even got the 4 mm hose finally, which was good for the side of the petcock but not for that one... Hose should arrive tomorrow... Autozone only sells packs of the connectors and then I need to check that the right size one is there... Ironic, something so small and cheap is such an important part. And cant seem to be able to find the right one.

Yeah, I was assuming a combination of the hose plus the adapter. I'm sorry if I didn't specify. If you have any old hose at all then you should be able to make something from that packet of random adapters work.
