I would like to upgrade my fuel lines (in the engine compartment) of my 110 
LM to use AN fittings. 

I plan on blocking off the mechanical fuel pump to go to an in-tank electric, 
so the amount of fuel lines needed will be reduced.


 If you want to completely replace the stock fittings/lines, I can provide 
you with the part numbers from Earls Supply for the stuff you need. - Seth

Okay More Information  -

Replacing fuel lines for the 110 motor.  I promised a parts list. For a 
two-carb motor, you will need two of the hose ends that connect to the Rochester H 
series carb. Fortunately, the H-series uses the same thread as the Holley 
center-pivot models, 7/8" x 20. Earls makes a hose end that mounts directly to the 
hose (-6 AN hose) and screws directly into the carb inlet - replacing the 
large fitting. I would take this opportunity to replace the Bronze filters in the 
carbs. I'm not sure the filters are compatible with the hose end, but it is 
worth checking. The Earls P/N for this is 84909-3ERL  it is a swivel-seal hose 
end - even when tightened, the hose will swivel around the end. An alternative 
(Which won't clear on a 140 motor) is to buy fittings that screw into the 
carb and present a -6 AN male attachment point for a regular hose end. The 
adapter fitting is P/N 991943ERL for a straight and P/N 949093ERL for  90 degree.  
Earl's has a choice of hose types. If you want light and don't care about 
Stainless covering, they suggest the Pro-lite 350 hose. Stainless covering is a 
Perform-o-flex. They also offer a cheaper alternative called Auto-flex. All of 
the above are to be used with the swivel-seal hose ends. They are assembled, not 
crimped.  If you want to use less expensive hose, use the adapter fittings 
and have -6 AN female hose ends on the hose.  If you are going to run an 
electric pump, you should run the hoses to the left front of the engine compartment 
and use a hose connection to the metal fuel line over the wheel. - Seth
