This part is the fuel return tube for your outdoor power equipment. It is made of yellow plastic and measures 3x6x110mm. The return tube transports excess fuel back into the fuel tank after the primer bulb has been pressed and has primed the carburetor so the engine can start. Over time, this fuel tube can crack or clog, and this can cause problems for the engine. To replace this part, carefully pull the tube off the carburetor and the fuel tank, then connect the new tube. This part is sourced directly from the manufacturer and is an OEM part. It is sold individually.
Removed fuel lines from air purge body assembly. Removed the purge bulb retainer. Removed fuel line grommet from fuel tank by prying out with a screw drive.

Attached the fuel line and the fuel return line to the air purge body assembly. I had taken a photo of the connections before dis-assembly to be sure I got the lines back in the right places. Installed the new purge bulb and reinstalled the purge bulb retainer. Hedger now runs great.

Removed all old parts from Echo hedge trimmer without trouble, although the spark plug is very hard to get at because the D-handle bar is directly in the way of a socket wrench. The biggest problem with these Echo machines (blowers, hedge trimmers, etc.) is that the 3-hole rubber grommet that is inserted into a hole in the gas tank is RID
... Read moreICULOUSLY hard to replace. There is hardly any room between the tank and the D-handle bar, so it is next to impossible to press the grommet into the hole while protecting the three tubes from pulling out of their individual holes. You will swear that they sent you the wrong part as you try to force it into a hole that seems 30% too small, but it will fit into the hole if you are very good with your hands. Like a brain surgeon. This part of the job takes the longest, and you will need to find a suitable blunt tool to apply just enough pressure to the grommet to press it in without puncturing the grommet itself. This is a learn-by-doing project, and I would recommend buying two grommets in case you destroy the first one. Short story: Echo\'s machine design is not good. Seems like they want you to buy a new machine rather than fight the challenges of tuning up your machine yourself. BTW: I have previously ordered a complete new carburetor for this (and other) Echo machines, and they work great and are easy to install. Worth the $40 or so cost, and I would recommend them.
