Hose diameter question

[Anonymous]

I want to replace the fuel, vacuum and vent lines from my carbs. Even measuring them, I'm still not sure of the internal dimension. Anyone know for sure?

I am looking to do that myself. I believe the ID of the fuel line is 5/16" and the vacuum line is 3/16"; not sure about the vent hose.

Where is a good place to buy just a foot or so of each size? Most places want to sell you anything from 6ft to a roll.

crc2onlinecatolog.com has see-through thin-walled gas line in different sized sold in one-foot increments. I'll probably get some 3/16, 1/4 and 5/16 lengths and use what fits.

I replaced my hoses from bikebandit.com and they come long enough to cut to fit as I found most car type hoses are just to fat and stock hoses look better(my opinion) the price from bike bandit was reasonable.

Jackrp,

What were the diameters of the hoses?

Ok, so I just got new fuel hoses from crc2online in various diameters. The 3/16" fits the vacuum line off the #2 carb. 5/16" works on the fuel line.

sweet! i needed the diameter also. I was missing the vacuum line from in between 1-2 going to in between 3-4.

Poot,

The t-fittings between carbs 1-2 and 3-4 are vents; they are not supposed to be connected together but to have separate hoses going back to vent on top of the airbox.
