? 1600 fuel line size ? 3 Years, 11 Months ago  
I got the 3mm needle valve / seat set to go pumpless. I want to mount a clear glass filter inline on the left side. I was wondering what size fuel line I need as I'm going to put new on while I'm there.

Going from memory, but I think I used 5/8" fuel line.

I think it is metric but 5/16 will work.

If you are talking about the line from the petcock to the carb, I believe it is 5/16", but I could be wrong.

Dave beat me too it...

LOL Ok. I see your point. Since mine didn't come with brass fittings and a "rainbird" at the other end, I'd go with the others. But I am going to check!
