This in the info from my weedeater

2000 US EPA PH1
YPWES.0183LT:EM
18CC
Serial 00356N601240-4

I am looking for the size of the fuel lines ID. I have some here, but I think it might be too small, after replacing it, I can prime the bulb, it will run slow for 1-3 seconds then quit.

Thank you,

Steve

just so long as the fuel line is a larger diameter than the main jet it will be big enough.
Size wise what matter is the fuel line makes an airtight seal where it passes through the fuel tank otherwise the fuel tank can not pressurise which makes it difficult for the fuel pump inside the carb to get enough fuel into the carb to continue running.
More important is have you plumbed the system correctly.
Fuel filter > carby > primer > return line
The "primer" is really a purger designed to suck the air out of the system, not pump fuel in.
It has one way valves in it which will be working against the fuel pmup if hooked up the wrong way round.
