Default Carb drain tubes-Keihen

My 99 KX250 has some carb drainage tubes that should probably be replaced.

Do you guys know the diameter of the tubing involved? Also, is there a specific type of tubing involved (something that is specifically for gas, so it won't melt or breakdown)

I am wanting to buy one long piece and replace all of them, without having to go the OEM parts route.

Thanks

Where it hangs down under the bike, just cut off a piece with a pair of wire cutters.

Its still rideable as you only cut off an inch or two.

Then take the piece to any place like NAPA, LORDCO, PEPBOYS etc. and match it up off the bulk rolls.

Cheap, and buy extra to have around the shop, it always comes in handy eventually.
