Filter 98760

Removed the screws holding the old fuel tank on and removed the old fuel lines. Then just screwed the new fuel tank in and installed the new fuel lines. Then removed the air filter cover, removed the old air filter and placed the new one in, then installed the cover.

1. Removed the two screws holding the tank in place.
2. Used a screw driver to pry the tank off of the anchors on the sides of the tank.
3. Removed the air filter box for access to the back of the carburetor.
4. Disconnected the old line and removed the tank. (make sure you do not cross the hoses when you install the new tank.)
5. Connected the new lines.
6. Using the screw driver, pry the side plate up and slide the new tank in place. ( I used the same rubber spacers from the old tank.)
7. Replaced the screws.

10. Pumped the primer bulb, put the choke on, pulled the rope three times and it started up.

If you took small engine repair in high school, finding the problem will be a breeze.
Diagnosed that the carburetor was the problem, and replaced with replacement unit.
Runs great now. The complete carburetor was only a few bucks more than the rebuild kit, so I took the easy way.

Replace gas tank and all gaskets. Replace air filter and filter cover with mount. Replaced primer bulb. Replace trimmer hub. Trimmer starts and running well now.
This was my first time to tackle a gas trimmer so it was a learning experience. I could not have done it without the help and tips from Replacement Parts!
