Doc, have you tried tightening the nut? Not trying to sound like an ass, but those are flare fittings that rarely, if ever leak.

But, if you can't find one pre-made; it's reletively easy to make your own. Get a piece of Aerquip 303 hose or Stratoflex 111, most likely -5 (1/4 inch I.D.), with Aeroquip 491-5 or Stratoflex 300-5 fittings. You'll also need a -5 mandrel, but they're only $10 or so. All total, it'll cost you around $35 or so.

Have you called Wag? They might have one.

I did try tightening, no luck, seems to leak where the CRES fitting joins the hose. Very slow leak. Hose very dry, black fabric of some sort. Someone else suggested Aeroquip 666 which I saw that A Spruce had, will follow your lead and call Wag. When they ask for "nut thread size" is that the OD the threads on the fitting coming off the carb and gascolator? Thanks!

Ordered 14" Aero 303-6 and the 491-6 fittings and mandrel from WAG. Turned out it was Weatherhead hose but hard to find that. Thanks.

Richard, I could use it if you don't need it. If the wx ever straightens out, I could fly over and get it.

That's just downright low, Mike.
