That looks like the sets they had at the shop used to repair cutting torch hoses. Any welding shop would have one of those but they are for bigger hoses than I would expect to see on a chain saw! The 1/4 inch refereed to there I believe you would find is the ID of the hose. Don't think I'm man enough to handle a chain saw that has that big of fuel lines on the engine!

That kind of kit would save a fella a TON of money if working on the 20MCS or 26LCS. The reproduction hoses available a few years back were about $50 a piece!

they work really well, you need to fit the ferrules to hose and have the proper crimper , you can have only so much play with the ferrules ,about enough to get it on usually ,made some hoses up and had to order the fittings
FittingsAndAdapters.com ,these folks have what you need, price was good,

Have been spent some hours sprucing up a 26LCS that ran until I rolled the carb. Then started the search for materials to reproduce the OEM fuel lines. 3/16 brass tubing came from a hobby shop in Oregon, $7. 3/16 compression ferrules are common, $6 for 50. Found 3/16 fuel line that is an exact copy in a hot rod store in California, is used to make turbo oil lines, $7 for 24". The crimp sleeve stumped for awhile. One day I'm looking at a .41 Remington case, it turns out to be a perfect fit. A neighbor fired up his small lathe and turned the rim and extractor groove off. .50 cents apiece. I started to form a crimp die from a 2"L x 2"W x 5/8"D block of hardwood maple, free. I'll post pictures when I have assembled one and I have reapplied for a Flickr account.

Looks like you are on the way, nice work.
What do you mean by "...rolled the carb."?

The carb is a float style, and to keep it upright, a lever unlocks the position of the carb and handle. In reality, the engine and bar are rolled to a horizontal position. That allows the saw to be used for a felling cut. When I rolled it, the hoses crumpled. There are two fuel hoses for this saw.
