I recently purchased a spare Moeller 6g tank for use with my 1978 Evinrude and the female connector doesn't fit my motor. Does anyone have a part number or source for a connector that will fit my older motor?

Thanks

Looks like what came with the tank but it doesn't quite fit. Is there a different part for older motors? Mine is a '78.

I have a 2000 Johnson and I replaced my fuel/engine connectors using two my brother in law had laying on the shelf leftover still in the pack from when he had a 1980 Johnson. So... I am pretty sure nothing's changed. When you say it doesn't quite fit, how so? They can be a little finicky to clip onto the motor. The connection wants to be tight so there's a good air tight seal. So sometimes it will feel like the metal clips not going to engage the groove on the brass inlet. Work and it back and forth a few times to get just right and if it goes on, leave it on.
