Hello! Found that kink on my 14gt.
I understood that I'm looking for a 180 psi hose but I'm not sure about the size. Recommended inner diameter will be great.

The same size as the original hose wood be ideal. On a '14 bike, I'd be changing the hose post haste.  The rubber components on the Enfield are cheap and nasty and not worth the risk. My fuel hose perished and started leaking fuel after about a year.

You might find the new hose is a bit fatter on the outside diameter and gets squeezed between the cold start thing and the idle adjuster.  I slipped a thin plastic strip in there to stop the hose chafing, just to be safe. Seems to be working.
