Fuel Line Question

18Bravo
I'm finally putting my CB750K back together, and can't get the fuel line back on the petcock. The ID of the fuel line appears too small. Did I forget a piece somewhere, or do I really just have to use brute force to get this thing back on? (Getting the carbs back on may have sapped the last of my strength)

Is the fuel line old and dried out?

No, very pliable. Just too small.

Geez, unless it is really small, you should be able to wiggle it on. If not, you want new tubing since you don't want a line that is too small and then chokes fuel off.
