I had a bit of "Black crap" and a "slick-type' residue on the inside, bottom of the cowl of my 1984 - E75TLCRD which I have attributed to running sea foam doing what it is supposed to i.e. clean up the engine (and 89 Octane -10% ethanol). In cleaning it all up, I noticed the hose comming out of the fuel pump and leading to the carburator tee is quite cracked so it's probably leaking there and I better replace it.

So here's the problem. I have the E-rude manual & parts list so I start searching. I've just spent the last 3 hours at it. It's original part 327417 which was replaced by part 332843. This part was used on all 70 & 75's from 81 to 86. Unfortunately every site lists it as obsolete or discontinued. :confused:

So the question is: what can be used as a replacement? It's about 5 inches long with a 90 bend about an inch from one end. It's labeled SAE J3OR6 but no diameter.

Anyone have any ideas? What to use & where to get it?

Yes, both part numbers have been discontinued. There are a number of dealers in the US which have new stock on this part. This particular dealer has 3 pcs of the 332843 part listed as in stock: US BOATWORKS INC., 930 OSAGE AVE., KANSAS CITY, KS., 66105 Phone: (913) 342-0011.
