Fuel supply lines inside the fuel tank were brittle and broke off. Unable to insert new tubes, therefore had to replace the fuel tank with new fuel lines already installed.

2. Installed the new fuel tank with new lines included.
3. Installed a new fuel filter (not included) to the longer line provided in the tank.
4. Installed the new fuel lines from the tank to the carburetor.
5. Filled the fuel tank and pressed the primer bulb several times to test for leaks and pressure.
6. Replaced the spark plug and started the blower.
Notes: Drain any gas from the old tank before attempting to remove it.
I wasted a lot of time trying to start the blower with the old spark plug before replacing it.
Needle nose pliers helped a lot in getting the new fuel lines installed on the carburetor.
A little WD-40 was also helpful in getting the new lines started onto the carburetor fittings.
