Connecting fuel lines in Ryan 275 string trimmer

[rsaritzky]

Hi,

I'm a DIY'er but haven't worked with gas power equipment much, but I have some reasonable auto-engine knowledge. I'm trying to resuscitate an old Ryan 275 string trimmer. The trimmer has been in storage for a number of years and all the fuel lines were brittle and broke in my hand. Before I could note where the lines went to and came from, most of them had fallen out. The primer bulb also crumbled. I'm going to include some pictures (if the forum will let me), but there are two lines coming from the fuel tank, two lines into/out of the primer base, and two fittings on the carburetor. I just need to figure out where to connect the new pieces of fuel line. Hopefully the pictures will appear here. Thanks. Ron

Fuel line goes from the white connector sticking out bottom of fuel tank which is the fuel filter, and will need to be pushed out, and line installed to it, and then pulled back into the tank to seal. The other end hooks to the plastic fitting at bottom of carb. The next line from the fitting on top of carb, to short fitting on primer bulb. Last line from long fitting on primer back into the fuel tank.

Thank you very much for the reply. I also found with a little more research some YouTube videos that indicated the same thing. But I really appreciate you taking the time to reply.
