Message: <blockquote data-quote="bobbie-g" data-source="post: 117005" data-attributes="member: 26"><p>I am certain the tank on a 751C with Pug engine cannot be removed without pulling the engine first (somebody jump in if I'm wrong, it can happen).  As I mentioned, I know replacing the pickup tube is difficult (I talked to the mechanic who did it on mine) but not impossible.  Can't remember for sure, but there may be two rubber plugs in the top of the tank:  one for the pickup tube and one for the return line from the injectors.  I'm hazy on the last, so maybe only one rubber plug for the pickup line?  Just tug gently on the line leading from under the engine to your primer bulb.  Find where that line goes forward, and it will terminate in front of your engine (front meaning toward the seat) at the pickup fitting.  I would advise buying a new rubber plug before you start, plus the pickup tube, the clamps, the checkvalve inside the tank and the screen.  There will be a right angle metal fitting that pokes into the rubber plug.  That metal fitting (1/4" dia or 5/16" dia???) will pry out with a screwdriver or whatever.  All you have to do is find it, reach it, and then somehow work it loose and out.  I think seeing it may be a dream, but again, I never had to find mine.  Simple, huh?  And while you're at it, I would replace the fuel hose from the metal fitting over  to your primer bulb.  Once you finally get through this, you don't wanna have to get back in there to replace a buck's worth of fuel line. And pse keep us posted, except for the words you will invent while trying to do this! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />  ---Bobbie-G</p></blockquote><p></p>
