You can heat the fuel hose with a heat gun as well to get 1/4" hose on a 5/16" barb, but the hose might be very difficult to get off without the use of a heat gun again. Heed FF's advice about the small orifice Japanese carburetors. They really don't like fine grit like what can come from rust or a dirty filler hose at a gas station. I actually don't use an inline filter, but it is a case of being forgetful and too lazy to change my hose setup. It has bit me once so far. Got gas from a gas station that needs new fuel tanks in the middle of nowhere 97 miles from home. Bucked off and on all the way home. Thought it was going to stall on the hwy, and at stops when closer to home, but was able to get it home blipping the throttle at stops. Pain in the butt that was.
