What size fuel hose?
I have a 115 HP. 2 stroke Yamaha. What size fuel supply hose should I plumb from my tanks?
Thanks,

Dont make it difficult for yourself. If theres any fittings already on the engine it is likely it will be that size but 3/8 --1/2 inch is ample.

Actually,there is nothing on anything. The motor came without the connector. The other stuff (yes I have a filter/seperator) is waiting for me to pick the size barbs I choose.
The only rngine connector I found was a 1/4" barb. I ordered a primer bulb to match. Not big enough?

out uf the rigging manual it states 5/16 fuel line for this engine and my rule of thumb is when in question use 3/8 for 90hp and up
