If I'm getting this right. This is the connector that is on the end of the fuel line that plugs into the engine? It's a female connector that you push onto the engine fitting and turn to lock?<br /><br />And, it looks like a current version of the Merc, but is smaller? <br /><br />If this is true, I had the same problem recently with an old (ca. 1968) Merc 9.8 hp that I had to rig up a fuel line for. The connectors that they commonly sell in non-boat (e.g. Kmart, etc.) stores "looked" right but was too big to plug into the engine.<br /><br />I went to a Merc. dealer and they had the right part. It looks exactly like the larger, current version, but smaller. Check there.
