Fuel Tank Assembly

This was the feather light model. I used an allen wrench to unbolt the air and fuel intake assembly. It also holds the tank in place. Just slide the tank in and connect the lines. You need observe closely and be sure and connect the priming bulb to the air intake on the tank and the fuel line to the carburetor. But it went fine and the weed eater runs great. A simple and inexpensive repair. There were no written instructions with the part, but for me they were not necessary.

1. Clean the areas around the fuel tank and fuel lines while studying the attachment of the tank
2. Ensure you have a clean work space and a means to keep the hardware organized
3. Empty, or ensure that the fuel tank is empty
4. Separate the fuel lines from the carburetor and primer bulb assembly
5. Gain access to the fuel tank attachment hardware, then remove the tank
6. Examine the fuel lines-one leads to the fuel filter flopping mid tank, the other attaches at the top of the tank. Also, ensure the lines do not slip easily through the holes in the tank.
7. Attach the line with the fuel filter to the nipple at the carburetor inlet
8. Attach the other line to the nipple at the primer bulb
9. Attach the fuel tank and other parts removed for accessibility
10. Fill tank, prime, start

Drained gas. Removed fuel line & primer line from carb.
Removed two mounting screws. Put new tank assy on & put mounting screws back in.
Attached fuel & primer lines. Filled with gas & started right up.

Removed the bolts that hold the rear cover on. Then removed two screws from the old tank. Removed the fuel lines. and remove the old tank. Placed in the screws that hold the new tank, hooked up the fuel lines. And replaced the cover.

I replaced the gas tank which came with gas lines and filter . Took 20 minutes for the job Filled tank with new mix of gas, primed and started on first pull. Trimmer is running very well. Did not have to rebuild carburetor Job was easy, took out 5 allen bolts and removed rear cover which the gas tank is attached to. Removed the 2 screws on tank, replaced tank then reinstalled rear cover. Attached the gas lines and job was done.

Disassembled motor and carburetor. Removed all gaskets and replaceable parts (from the rebuild kit). Cleaned all metal parts with carburetor cleaner and the rest with warm soapy water (plastic shrouds, shaft, etc.). Scraped and cleaned all gasket sealing surfaces. Rebuilt trimmer (in reverse order of teardown), fired it up and let it run for 15-20 minutes.

Thanks eReplacement parts!
