I would simply count it as being DONE & know that it is a huge / common problem with most of these older machines. Once the right angle fitting is removed, try to blow compressed air through it, just to make sure it is OPEN to flowing fuel through it. I would also recommend replacing the GROMMET that holds the right angled fitting to the fuel tank as well. ALL of this is just normal BOBCAT maintenance on these older machines anyways. Replacing the fuel line from the right angled fitting to the fuel squeeze bulb is another good idea, along with adding an inline fuel filter to the fuel line before the small lifter / transfer pump. I consider that very cheap preventative maintenance that will helps keep the transfer / lifter pump alive a lot longer.</p></blockquote><p></p>
