If you suspect you have a bad primer bulb or leaking fuel lines, this kit works well. To install the kit, remove air filter housing and carburetor. Make a drawing of where fuel lines go -- it is not intuitive once everything is disassembled. (I read suggestions from people that said to use a certain size wire to pull new fuel lines through the tight-fit holes in the fuel tank, but could not get this to work.) The fuel lines in the kit are split just right at one end to make the job easier, so I came up with this procedure: Cut old fuel lines off as close to tank as possible, push what remains into the EMPTY fuel tank. Remove fuel cap and shake out the remaining fuel line and filter. Do the same for the return line. Feed 20-gauge electric wire through one of the fuel line holes and out the refuel opening. Tightly tie thin string (kite string works) to the wire, then pull it back through the small hole in the fuel tank. Now, make a tight knot with the other end of the string close to the end of the split fuel line, and pull the new fuel line through the tank and out the small hole. Do both lines -- one is for fuel return. Carefully pull out the new fuel line until the opposite end is well into the tank. (The return line does not need much line inside the tank, as you will see when you remove the old fuel line.) Remember to add the fuel filter and return line end before the fuel line disappears into the fuel tank. Finish by reassembling with the new primer bulb. If the primer bulb pumps fuel from fuel tank and holds it, you did a great job. If it does not work, try reversing fuel lines -- it is easy to get them mixed up. The kit has all the parts for replacing fuel lines, primer bulb and fuel filter. If bad fuel lines and/or primer bulb is the problem with your blower or trimmer, this kit will fix it. Note: It can be tough to get the carburetor, air cleaner housing, fuel lines, and throttle cable all correctly aligned at the same time when reassembling. Be sure that fuel lines are not pinched between carburetor and engine.

Thanks for carrying this product. I received it quickly and it was exactly as advertised. It also fixed my trimmer good as new.

The fuel hose and filter worked like a charm. Evidently there are many sizes of primer bulbs for the walbro carburetor. The one I need is much smaller than the one in this kit. Otherwise excellent part and service from seller.

This product is a new fuel line tank filter and primer bulb that fixed my trimmer quickly. With enough fuel line left (another size) to fix a second machine. Worked good for me.

Just exactly what they said it would be. I couldn't find the part locally, and it was exactly what I needed

This kit had all I need to get my weed eater back in working order. I really only want the primer bulb but it came with filter an lines, I didn't realize the lines were so worn out. As an added note be sure to replace the filter first, you'll need the fuel lines to be long so you can go in from the bottom, come out of the top, attach new filter then pull back to desired location.
