This flared end is actually what's causing the debris!!!! It's sharp and every time I slide the hose over it it cuts/shaves it!!! The new line that was too small and the old line which is actually still in good shape inside!!!
If I could just go to Ace hardware ans get a barbed fitting for the carb I would but that's not an option! I'm going to look to see if I have anything that will work but if I don't I'm cutting the metal line somewhere between the pump and carb!
