Petcock vent hose - What size?

[Guest]

What size vent hose do I need for a replacement petcock to carb on my '83 750T?

As always, thanks much.

I don't know what size your model uses, but just measure the ports at the petcock and/or carb and get something with the same inside diameter and be sure it slips on snug.

Thanks. Didn't know how exact I needed to be.

The fuel line is 5/16" ID. The vacuum line is 1/4" ID.

Thanks, buddy. As always. Didn't want to bug you with the trivial stuff!

Two auto-parts stores in town, and neither had 1/4" ID hose. Ridiculous. The guys behind the counter kept handing me other sizes saying, "Will this work?"

I just stopped taking the packages and started asking, "Is it 1/4" ID?"

"No."

"Then no, it won't work."

Any other suggestions as to where to get it?

I get all my fuel and vaccum line at Ace Hardware. The 5/16" is $.79/lf, and the 1/4" is $.59. At the auto parts store (morons- all of them) a 2 foot length is $4.99!!

Wal-mart and Lowes drove the hardware stores out of business. I guess I'll see what the morons there have,...

Thanks, brother.

No Ace? WTF? "ACE is the Place!"

Nearest is about 40mins away, I believe.
