I have a 32cc gas trimmer/edger. when i try to use the prme buubble, fuel comes out of the sall tube which I believe is an overflow . I cannot find a model number or the manuel.

Model number please.

Clean or replace carburetor.

Hi pmbaugardne...
Please take time to rate me

Hi davemac918...
I used a long pair of tweesers to grab the filter, but you can also grab it with a piece of wire with a hook bent on the end of it large enough to fit the tubing the filter is inserted into.
Hook the filter tubing, and pull the filter to the top of the tank and manuver it out of the tank.

Try searspartsdirect.com You'll need the model number... plug it in and you should be able to pull up a schematic.

The leash to hold the cap is a common item to break and really doesn't need to be repair unless it bothers you or leaks. The tube that is loose is probably the cause of not starting. It is likely that the fuel line(s) have broken and are not allowing fuel to the carb. Your trimmer should have 2 line. The smaller diameter line will connect to the fuel pickup filter in the tank. The larger line is a return line and has a small plastic fitting on the inside of the tank that keeps it from slipping out. The replacement lines are available from you local mower repair guy or from www.searspartsdirect.com . If you choose not to tackle this yourself, the local shop will probably charge $25 to $45 for this repair.
Good luck!

i believe that is the overflow tube

Cut the end of the line at a sharp angle. Spray WD-40 on the line and fuel tank hole. Slowly screw the line in the tank far enough so you can connect the fuel filter if you are replacing that line. If not just push the line into the tank if you have a two line system. Remember on the fuel primer, the long tip has the line going to the tank, and the short tip has the fuel line going to the carb.

Take them off and put new ones on. Cut the old ones if they are hardened. Make sure you change the fuel filter too.

Replace the spark plug, clean the air filter and fill the tank with new fuel at the correct fuel oil ratio. Had the same problem last year. Tried to cheat with year old gas.
