I am switching back from an inconsistent electric fuel pump to the original fuel pump. There is not one set of plumbing (from fuel pump to filter) available on the web so I bought 2 of the lines that go from the pump to the tank, are both ports on the fuel pump the same size? I just ordered this pump so I do not know what they look like. Can anyone help me please before the wrong parts are shipped? Thank you, Tom Fpss

I have TR3&4 but am sure that the TR6 is the same. The input size is 5/16" and the output side is 1/4". So you will not be able to use a tank to pump line to replace a pump to carb line. A reasonable alternative for replacing a fuel line assuming you can not find steel lines is to use copper-nickel line. It bends easier.
You can probably buy a 25' roll for what one tank to pump line costs. Check on Amazon or elsewhere on the internet.
