ok, so when replacing my fuel lines last night (took four diagrams, two of them being chicken scratch on a paper and the other two from the manufacturer) i found that the carb input and the pump output are two different sizes. Both pieces are original but the carb input is significantly larger.

this is the piece that seems too big

the only problem i am having is i want to use Tygon fuel line and the pump fits 1/4 inch but the carb input is too large.
