Just took my 2 carb plug out today and it is 5/8 fine thread. And another
manufacture for the brass male fuel line connector is Dorman . There is
usually a rack of brass fittings in auto stores. I couldn't find the Brass
Tite in my town.
Also I found 3 different sizes of Crank Case Vent hose in boxes on a part
rack.
Theres a size for both sides of the Pcv valve.
