Forgive me for being pedantic 😎. The stock fuel line is actually 7mm not 5/16.
Here in Australia, where we went metric a long time ago, we can't get 7mm fuel line. Generic fuel line here is either 6mm or 8mm. I went to a dealer to get a replacement piece of fuel line ... $65 !!! I said "I don't want the whole roll". The guy didn't laugh!
It seems 5/16 Is the nearest approximation.

SIXTY. FIVE. DOLLARS. ?...

5/16″ to mm = 7.9375 millimeters
5/16 inch to mm = 7.9375 millimeters
Some tiny tie wraps might be in order.

The only way I can buy actual 7mm fuel line is to go to a well stocked dealer that has a roll of it and cuts off what you need - or I can order it from an online store while I am ordering other parts as it is too expensive to ship a piece of tubing alone.

Yes....but the online folks will charge you $12 for the work to put that $3 piece of tubing in the mail.

What about melted o rings in the carburettor? I had that problem with my bmw 650LS that got stolen with 250kms on the clock and found by the side of a road 10 years later with 278kms on the clock. New battery and cleaned up the completely melted carburettor internals and it fired first go.

It was garaged the whole time on its side stand. Whoever stole it decided to return it by dumping it on the side of the road, the police then found it and tracked me down. I was in a different state at the time. It was in mint condition apart from the obvious. The point though of the story was that no one has suggested that the carb o rings may be a bit dodgy in the OP's bike.

EDS I didn't make the connection ,AustinEire hasn't gotten past the petcock /inline filter, problem yet, so I guess the carb will be coming up later.
