1. Can’t seem to find marine grade 5/32” distribution lines online anywhere.
It’s what my motor came with (a previous owner - it also didn’t have a fuel filter which I’ve since added to the main fuel line) and it seems to match the size of the plastic manifold barbs (may not be original) and carb fuel line barbs.
Unsure if I should be replacing them with same size or going with what service manual says (as I type this I feel the answer should be obvious), but that’s what confuses me (see attached screenshots) because if I understand it correctly, it looks like I need the same size ID for (a) the line that goes from my tank to my motor and (b) the lines that connect all the carb and manifold barbs.
Surely these aren’t supposed to be the same size!? 3/8 =12/32. I’d need a new manifold and new carbs for the barbs to fit, no?
