ITS ALIVE!!! I checked out a couple videos and had 2 options to fix the split tube—replace with brake line, or slip over weedeater fuel line and filter. I opted for the weedeater tubing route and she fired up first pull!!!
Free pickup find at curb—gotta get it going!

Not sure if the smaller diameter line will cause problem (I used 1/8” ID). So I had to REALLY heat it up and work it over the split tube, but it went . I figured I’d try that route first as I didn’t want any problems with the brake line falling out etc, or risk breaking the original tube.
Ok, don’t celebrate too early!! Didn’t fire this morning. I think the small line and the weedeater filter maybe getting clogged. Took it apart (again!) andfihured I need to get the original style plastic draw tube back in. So I simply cut the hose at bottom of brass tube(left a sleeve if hose covering rest of tube), and reinstalled the plastic filler tube. Seems to work ok now. In fact, the old belt was ok too, I just finished power raking my lawn. Funny how things go sometimes
