[QUOTE="Fishfiles, post: 70783, member: 782"] The 773 is a hard one to do , it is between the engine and the pump , a little more to the left side of center ( sitting in the seat ) my arms and hands are not long enough to touch it , so I use a pair of vise grip and grab the metal 90 degree fitting and pull the tube out , this is done blind by feel , when going back in , it is a little harder as you have to get the rubber bushing in the tank by itself first before the tube , this is hard as you can't see it or touch it with my hand , so what I do is use a large Philips screwdriver and wrap electrical tape around the shaft then put a hose clamp over the tape , slide the rubber bushing on the shaft till it hits against the clamp/stop , then without letting the bushing fall off find the hole and push the bushing in , once you get this far it is easier to slide the tube down the bushing till it contacts the bushing , then use a hammer handle on top the 90 degree fitting and push it down into the bushing ----------------- when I get frustrated with it I'll drill another hole in the tank , relocate the tube for easy future access and plug off the original hose [/QUOTE]
