1) Remove as much of fuel from the fuel tank and fuel lines as possible.

2) Remove the air breather cover and filter element.

3) Remove the two long screws that hold the air breather housing to the carburetor and
trimmer engine head.

4) Using the pliers, carefully use a twisting/pulling action on the two fuel lines that are still
attached to the carburetor to remove them from the carburetor. Pay careful attention to
which port these fuel lines go to.

5) I suggest using new fuel lines as the old ones were brittle and broke or cracked when they were removed from the carburetor. Using your fingers, attach these fuel lines to the new carburetor port as they came off.

6) Place the new carburetor o-ring on the head and carefully seat the carburetor on it, holding the carburetor in place with your fingers.

7) Place the air cleaner gasket on the carburetor and then place the air cleaner housing onto
this gasket. Insert the two long screws through the air cleaner housing, carburetor and into the head. Tighten them making sure you tighten them so as the seat with equal pressure on to the head as to prevent leaks.

8) Add fresh clean fuel, prime the bulb and start it.

I removed the old carb, and noticed the jets were damaged. The old air cleaner gasket came apart when I removed the air cleaner. I replaced the carb o-ring out of an abundance of caution, because it was inexpensive. Once I had installed the new carb, gasket, and o-ring, the primer worked fine and the trimmer started right up and runs grea t.
