I have 1960s style Evinrude 6-gallon fuel tank that came with a ’62 Evinrude Fisherman 5.5 hp motor. No fuel line was included so I bought a new fuel line with modern connectors.

The old fuel tank connector and the old motor connector will not fit the new fuel line connectors unless I drill extra holes in the fuel line connectors. This is a single-line system.

I have a photo of all three, but the AOMCI program tells me it is too big to upload. (15.2 KB) The fuel line connector is #35 in the diagram. The tank connector is #5.

I have been searching for connectors that fit but I haven’t found any yet. Is this a common problem?

odd because post-60 J& went single connector and unless I am wrong they have not changed

did you purchase the proper hose type … ie: J&E connectors and not a look -a- like

I don’t see a #5 tank connector.

It has to be the wrong fuel line because the OMCs didn’t change for decades, unless somebody put a different connector on the motor and the tank isn’t an OMC tank. I’ve seen Bubba do some crazy things to save a dime.

I pulled an image off the interweb. These are basically what the male and female should look like on a 1962.

Long live American manufacturing!

Does that motor have a fuel pump?

You couldn’t possibly need this kind of connector could you?

The tank connector looks like this. The fuel line is a single line, NOT a dual pressurized line. I can fit a new-style fuel line connector onto this fitting if I use a Dremel tool to grind away some of the plastic, so it doesn’t hit that lower stud. Also, I contacted Doug Brooke at VintageOutboard.com and he says he has fuel line fittings that will work for me.

Search: 1 result found for “8056” – VintageOutboard.com

I ordered two and I’ll see how they fit when they get here.
