I've never dealt here before but I saw this. Warren MI isn't too far away from here and I'm hoping they also have a brick and mortar store. There is a Honda part number in the photo that might work at your local dealer. 95001-5500860M

I know its not original but i got some replacement hose at my local car parts place, its mainly targeted at the injected import type cars

[andy8190]

grumpol, it doesnt have to be original i am just looking for the original type so i dont have to use clamps to keep the fuel line secure. i have newer fuel line on my and it is that thick stuff that you have to use clamps on and i would like the original type so i can get ride of those clamps

hi,, on a 750 the line size is 5 mm.  the local shops sell it by the foot.

[andy8190]

thanks for that info

I use the polyurethane they use on racing carts. Once you put it on you have to cut it off. No clamps at all.

Not necessarily so.  I checked all the local shops and they only had SAE sizes, not metric.  1/4" is only a little bigger, though, and with the clamp it's fine.

[andy8190]

yeah i know its fine but i cant seem to get clamps on down at the T connector by the carbs so i want the original size and type

[Sporkfly]

Go to a small engine shop of some sort. I bought my fuel line at a boat shop for a few bucks a foot. It's high quality stuff, braided at 5/32" (SAE, couldn't find metric). It's tricky to get on that 5mm fitting since the ID is about 4mm but you won't be leaking fuel and you won't need clamps.

[andy750]

Go to you Honda dealer (or look for one online - like Bettencourts here in New England) and order the real 5.5 mm stuff from them 

No clamps, no fuss, just working fuel line....

Cheers
Andy
