Try Planet silicon, they do a full range of Nitrile pipe. You are talking about float bowl drain hose?.

If you mean the brass tubes  its a mechanical nightmare problem, if you mean the rubber overflow try injector pipe overflow tube or vacuum advance tube at a motor factors

As i said Mike, try planet Silicon. 1 meter is about £3 with free post. While your looking get yourself new fuel lines and breather drain hose.

Mike, fuel pipe is 5.5 and breather is 12mm. Off the top of my head can not remember carb overflow size.

does this look right

fuel line 5.5 by 10.5

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140685400102?var=440175994842

carb drain lines

I am guessing 4mm internal by 8mm

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161145097263?var=460229641099

breather pipe all from same company could I use this

11mm is nearest I could find..... really not sure this is correct
