Default Fuel line size

I am replacing the fuel line from tank to carb. Currently the hose size is 1/4" id. It was replaced many years ago, but may have been an undersized piece of hose I had laying around.
1/4 or 5/16 ? What is typical?
01 FLH, Mikuni carb.
Thanks,
Speleo

If you don`t know what the inside diameter is, then you don`t know what the hose size is....

I replaced my rotted hose with 5/16 id, getting it through the grommet on the backbone was a PITA
But that's what was on it, so that's what I used to replace it.
