This return fuel pipe is a genuine OEM replacement part designed for use with Echo gas powered backpack blowers. This is the return pipe that will deliver the excess fuel back to the tank. When you press the primer bulb, it will purge all the air out of the carburetor and fill its chambers with fuel. The excess fuel is then forced back into the tank through the return pipe. Over time these rubber pipes will become brittle and may crack requiring replacement. Please note, one item is included per order.

Screwdriver, Pliers, Socket set, Wire shepherd\\\'s hook
Dumped all fuel into a gas can. Used a wire shepherd's hook that I made from a hangar, and used it to pull the fuel pipe to the tank opening and popped it out of the tank. Then, removed the grommet using a wide blade screwdriver to get it started out of its seat. Once there, I removed the fuel pipe, fuel line & return, and pulled the brass lines from the old grommet.
Reassembly with new components is simply the same in reverse order. Once completed, install new fuel filter and use the shepherd's hook to move the fuel pipe/filter to its original position in the tank.

1. First I disassembled the ignition switch, the only tool needed was a screwdriver to remove the screws in handle once screws are out separated the handle which opens up down the middle into 2 pieces.
2. Removed switch and all wires from handle and plastic protective tubing that runs to the back of blower.
3. Installed new switch and wiring in reverse fashion, fairly easy, the hardest part was running wires back in protective plastic tubing because you don't want excessive wires in the handle you want just the right amount of wiring needed in handle that way wires don't get pinched.
1. Next I replaced the 3 retainer cushions that hold the blower onto the backpack. Removed all broken cushions with screw driver on blower and screwdriver and nutdriver for the backpack portion.
2. Screwed new cushions onto blower portion, then put blower new cushion threads through backpack mounting holes, used nutdriver to thread nuts onto backpack. Very easy repair.
1.Next I replaced backpack straps screwdriver and nutdriver were the only tools I needed removed old straps and replaced with new ones in reverse fashion, very easy
1. Next I replaced both fuel line running from carb to fuel tank using a screwdriver had to loosen the carb up to gain access to install new lines, old fuel lines just pull right off if they are a little sticky, a flathead screwdriver or plyers should help remove them, new fuel lines just press right on to carb and fuel tank.
2. There also is a plastic protective twine around fuel lines just untwine from old lines and rewind around new lines. Fairly easy
