The higher quality fuel line is a good idea. But dont' throw out the stock fuel line.

I found that the black stuff wouldn't fit on the nipple on the carburetor. So I've got the black stuff from the tank to the fuel filter, but the stock stuff from the fuel filter to carby. Gonna have to figure out something more permanent, but it works for now.

They make thinner wall 3/16" fuel line. Works great for the carb side of the fuel filter.

I think this will help some people....

On my HT and all of my mini chopper builds i run into the nipples (carb/tank) being slightly smaller than the 1/4" fuel line.
This causes the fuel line to fit sloppy (loose) and your totally relying one the clamp to keep it snug. Manytimes seeping.

I have found that if you use 3/16 fuel line and filter that the lines fit perfectly snug on the nipples. (many times without a clamp)
9 times out of 10 you cannot find them at any local stores. You can find them at snowmobile shops, but they are
spendy. 5 years ago I tried good ol' e-bay and there was only 1 supplier of 3/16 supplies. But now there are plenty
of people selling them at very reasonable prices._________Maybe in your area's you can find then in the store, but 3/16" has
been the cats meow for my many applications.

3/16 Clamps... http://shop.ebay.com/items/_W0QQ_dm...=m270.l1313&_odkw=3/16"+fuel+filter&_osacat=0

Some vendors sell all three, but you have to do the homework. graucho
