Carburetor question

[Boody]

What type of fitting do I use on the fuel inlet of my carburetor? I have tried a few different brake line fittings without luck . What size line should I be using ?                                 Thanks

I use the 5/16” tubing. 
I believe The fitting you have is supposed to be threaded into the filter 

 

if you don’t have or want to use a different filter set up, the carb kits come with a female fitting 

 

or you can buy the separate at places like

or try Napa ?

I use inverted flared tube nut for 5/16” tube 1/2x20 thread from the pump to the filter

just as brent notes, the glass bowl filter attaches to that fitting, and the fuel line attaches to the filter inlet.

The fitting that screws into the carb is a special one that holds the needle valve.  You can't just use any old fitting there.

 

 

Page two of the parts listing shows the numbers

They also come in rebuild kits.

That appears to be 1/8” npt . From that you can adapt to 1/4 or 5/16” inverted flare for your steel line.
