Andy, although they are pretty big carbs. I have never seen 5/8" tubing used, even for a single point fuel line. Bearing in mind, the size is usually designated as the internal diameter. Check the spouts on your carbs and on the petrol cock. You will soon get a good indication of what size the lines should be.
Ensure no kinks in line to cause fuel starvation.

I use clear fuel lines 1/4" (6mm) bore, readily available most bike shops.
Fits on the standard Pingel fuel cock as well!
