Gas trimmer - not getting gas

if engines stumbling when at full throttle , ck to see that your getting full fuel flow ( lots of bubbles in primer bulb are a sure sign of not a good flow) , locate the fuel filter inside fuel tank , ck it for a dark color ? if so replace it , also try adding some normal car fuel system cleaner to your fuel next time u run it for a few minutes , this helps to loosen stuck deposits inside the carb

one hose attaches to fuel filter in tank...other is bleed off..

Hi,

Have a look at these engine starting tips:

An illustrated parts list is readily available at www.searspartsdirect.com . Just input your model number and select model search.

The gas tank is located in the "crankcase" section.

As for gas tank repair, I have tried many times to repair these tanks. I have not been successful, even with the epoxies that are specifically made for it.

Good luck.

Any local repair shop will do this for you - if you're looking for free repair -then please - look at the local sears store to direct you as they have the locations there.

Thanks

go to sears direct, enter your model number and get a schematic of your tool. you can also order factory parts at that site. Just replace them just the way they are now and be sure to tighten down the hose clamps well, if they come with hose clamps. some do not and rely only upon friction fit. Joe

if the bubble pumps/pushes hard then you need to clean out the hose and carburetor,if it pushes very easy theres a pin hole in the line or a hose is off on the primer line to the carb

did you try the air filter. could be not getting air. And are you sure it is firing. if so try a spray of ether. You can but at auto parts store. but be careful with it. don't use much. If it is firing it will go.

could be the coil
