    Vent tubing

    Hey all, just a quick question. What kind of hose should I get to replace my missing carburetor fuel vent tubes (the ones that connect to the T-junctions between the carbs)? As I understand it from what I've read on bikecliff's site, I need 5mm (or 3/16") tubing but I don't really know what kind to get.

    Will probably order from mcmaster-carr unless there is an easy place to go grab it (does autozone / advance auto parts sell this stuff by the foot?)

    Just something that can withstand the heat, usually vacuum hose works fine.
