[QUOTE="Fishfiles, post: 59574, member: 782"] I see it happen that the fuel line between the pickup tube and the bulb which goes under the engine gets messed up , sometimes it gets smashed from bad motor mounts , oil on the mounts makes the rubber soft and the motor sits down farther and squishes the hose ,especally when there is a lot of dirt under the engine , sometimes the hose gets a pin hole under the outter cover of the hose and it will look like blood viens running down the side the hose , but the most common problem is the pickup tube cracking or breaking off , also see alot where the old pickup tube had been replaced before and the old one was still in the tank , it deteriorates into little pieces and those pieces get sucked up into the pickup tube and get lodged up in the 90 degree fitting -------- I am so feed up with fighting to get the pickup tube out of some models that I have been relocating them , on this machine you can drill ( with a right angle drill ) another hole into the tank right by the gear pump , get another 90 degree fitting , rubber grommet and new style hard plastic pickup tube and install it in the hole and reroute some new fuel hose to the primer bulb , plug off the old hose with a bolt and hose clamp , [/QUOTE]
