9.9 honda fuel line question

[m089221]

I picked up a used 9.9 honda for my kicker motor.  It runs fantastic.  It came off a boat that just had a gas tank with inline bulb.  I can't use this setup as my fuel line has to go thru the splash well and the bulb is way to close to the out board for me to reach.  No problem on rerouting everything except for fuel line size.  They had 5/16 coming from the tank to the bulb and then after the bulb had it necked down to 1/4 going into the motor.  The majority of the line is 5/16 but about 18" is 1/4.  My question is should I just run all 1/4 inch or all 5/16 or try to combine the 2.  combining the 2 would be difficult in my application because I need to have the bulb close to the tank and they had it close to the motor.  Does it even matter what size the fuel line is?  Thanks
