I just looked at my 1953 15 hp. Fuel hoses under the hood are printed with 1/4” on them. I replaced them a few years ago and have no issues with leaks. I don’t know if this is the actual specified factory size but they work on my engine.
The dual fuel lines to the external fuel tank are 1/8 inch I.D., made to withstand the tank pressure. Sierra #18-8051 is what most of us use. It is sold in 50 foot rolls, or, some places, like NAPA auto parts stores, sell it by the foot. NAPA link below. It is dual hose, although it doesn’t say so.
