Obsolete hose part

[elorimer]

It looks like I have to clean one of my 9.9 carburetors again (3d time in three months, fresh gas) because it won't idle. I'm thinking I should replace internal fuel hoses in case they are deteriorating. I see though, that one of them is listed as "obsolete". So, stupid question, what does one do? It's marked as "Hose (L300)".

Check to see if their is a replacing part number for the obsolete part number. The boats.net website usually does not show the updated part number. Even when their is one.

more and more older fuel line part numbers are obsoleted/superceeded due to EPA fuel permeability standards.

the original number is gone once stock is depleted but there will be a second number.
