I suggest an Evinrude hose and primer bulb. There are many available that are of equal quality, but you can be sure if it says Evinrude on it.

My fuel tank hose barbs, filter, and squeeze bulb are all 5/16" tubing. My outboard mechanic strongly recommends either metal hose clamps or plastic ties that are rounded under the fastener--not flat. You can find the right plastic ties at West Marine or most good boat stores. Be very careful with the metal hose clamps on plastic hose barbs because you can easily over-tighten them. You can also break the hose barb.
