The red tube pops on the nipple thing down at the bottom

Needlenose wont fit all the way down. All i can think is one of those long skinny clamps

I assume it goes to the primer bulb from the noise made



Thanks to anyone with help

Does that tube come out of the tank? I replaced that part on my weedeater last year and it came with a stiff wire to pull it out of the tank from the inside. From your description it doesn't sound the same but thought I'd mention just in case.

Or just age. Local small-engine shop should be able to sell you a few feet of fuel line for cheap. I keep about 5 feet of it just in case stuff like that happens on my equipment.

Got some of those long swallowed hook taker outers? They work very well.

You have to have something like that to do it.

Take off that small filter and use a nail about the same size as the I.D. of that hose. Insert from the filter end and leave just enough to fit back onto nipple inside tank. Should give the hose enough backbone to work it on.

They make long, skinny needle nose pliers. They also make ones with a 30° bend on the end if them

I have had it come loose before and it is a PITA to get back in. I think u threw my weed whacker 10 times trying to get it done
