I recently switched from a 1981 90HP Johnson to a 1985 115 Evinrude. Is my 5/16" diameter fuel line from the Johnson the correct size for the Evinrude? Thanks, Bert :D

JohnnyRudes require a minimum 5/16" i.d. fuel line for V4 and smaller motors. V6 and larger outboards require a minimum 3/8" i.d. fuel line.<br /><br />You're ok.<br /><br />-John

And put the fuel supply system on a strict diet of no 90 degree fittings.<br /><br />Good luck!

The fuel fittings, and fuel filter housing should also be a certain size, cant look up size out of town, no book, some generic fittings and filter housings have too small of a inside dia.
