    primary oil line

    Does anybody have a source for the shiny small oil line that goes from the tube in the top of the oil pump over to the primary? It's the line that oils the primary chain. It appears to be 3/16" ID and somewhere around 1/4" OD. The one I have looks like it was made of vinyl, but I can't believe that would hold up to hot oil. The smallest 3/16" ID rubber hose I can find is 5/16" OD and isn't really flexible enough to make the bend from the tube at the pump over to the chain case.

        I got some small diameter vacuum hose from Napa for my Shovel last summer. I's not as small as the oem line, but doesn't look too bad.

            Works great. Flexible and I like that it's not shiny like the one I had on there.....Cheers....Omar
