Bare with me as this is my first ever interaction with an outboard motor, but I just picked up a 12' boat and it came with this 4hp Johnson motor and fuel tank...I ordered a fuel line and 1/4" fitting, but now that it arrived I'm realizing I may not have picked up the right components so I'm wondering if someone here can point me in the right direction?
This is the motor.
This is the gas tank/fitting it had on it.
Another shot of the tank/fitting.
This is the fuel line and fitting I ordered..Johnson/Evinrude Line and a 1/4 Johnson/Evinrude fitting.
So my problem is, what's the best way to get this fuel line connected to the motor? I originally thought I would swap out the fitting on the tank with the new 1/4" Johnson one, but the threads too big and when I took the old one out it's an actual hard line with a pickup (like a straw) with a screen on it.
Any help is appreciated!
