The fuel line from the pump to the carb (0979888) broke on my engine. I had to replace the pump, and the new pump connected at a different angle ... the old fuel line didn't like that angle. I'm kinda' concerned about buying the correct line because I'm gonna' have the same angle issue (I can find a couple online).

I've seen some flexible lines, but I know nothing about these fuel lines. Can I just go see the auto parts geniuses and get a flexible tube that'll run from the pump to the carb? Anything I need to be aware of?

That's what I was hoping for. Thanks Jerry.
