Hi, newbie here - :smile: ~ I was given a Weed Eater 1700 that looks like the one in this video YouTube - Weed Eater 1700 Engine Rebuild it wouldn't stay running, upon inspection it appears the fuel line has deteriorated and needs replacement. The line in the gas tank has broken off the cork-shaped filter that sits in the gas tank and anchors the line to bottom it appears. My question is, what is the trick for threading the new line thru the small hole in the bottom of the tank, do you just kind of stuff it or is there a trick? I assume I thread the line into it from the outside then up thru the mouth of the gas tank, attach it to the filter and then pull it back so the filter sits on the bottom of the tank? I also could use a new choke lever the very end is broken off, but it is operable with needlenose pliers so I will fix that later on. Any advice on this gas line, what the easy way to do this is and what the proper diameter of the line is would be great! PS I found a PDF parts manual online for it - http://flymo-partner.motoruf.de/FIPL/OBSOLETE/WE1700.PDF
