Great video and GREAT HELP. You saved me the purchase of a good plastic tank that only needed the hose replacement. I purchased the hose and put in a new filter using your video. GRACIAS!
excellent. The fuel line came off in the tank. Your camera angles are really good. A local farm store wanted $150 up front to work on it. My unit is not all that old. You have given me the "road map" to fix my unit. The farm store guy wasn't exactly truthful in his explanation. They sell Husquavarna and Echo products. Plus he had a 3 week waiting list. He does tire work in his "spare time"!!!!!!! Thank You. I have subscribed to your site and gave you a "hardy THUMBS UP".....
I did this exact repair a couple weeks ago. Having a pair of offset needle nose pliers or the hemostats he used is key to replacing the fuel lines. I also used some dish soap to lube the outside of the lines. I didn't have any so I had to use a pick. I poked the line with the pick and was able to pull enough line out to get a pair of needle nose vise-grips to lock onto the line. That made it go faster, but not much. I also had to take the tank off. If I had the right tool, I don't think I would have needed to remove the tank.
Do you by chance remember what size nut driver and what size star bit you used to disassemble ? I was in the middle of replacing the fuel filter that's inside the gas tank and i accidentally pulled off the entire fuel line from inside the tank. Now I gotta get the right sized tools to dismantle.
I noticed you left off the tiny Fuel Line Fitting that's attached to the primer line, it's vital to keep the primer tube in the tank. During prolong use the vibration will cause the line to work it's way out.
Good point. My trimmer has those fittings in both lines, not just the primer line. The only difference is you feed the lines from the inside of the tank up through the holels.
nice video - but is it ok not to reinstall the nipples that connect the fuel lines through the gas tank holes ? Some videos say you should, some don't. The repair kit I bought had the nipples, but I'd prefer to do it like you showed.
Great Video! NOW EVERYONE NEEDS TO STOP USING ETHENOL GAS! It dries out an cracks all rubber lines. Creating an extremely lean condition, gas leaks, or complete fuel cut off from broken lines! Super unleaded only. Good sythentic premix and add a dash of seafoam to each can for longevity if your not going through a lot of premix gas on you small engines. Metal gas cans also help alot since plastic cans leach away octane...
Hi, Me again. After looking at some other "repair persons" I do not see the need to remove the fuel tank from the engine unit. You are the only one I watched who did that. They removed the carb, removed the old lines, washed out the fuel tank, inserted the new fuel lines, fed the line with the fuel filter down in the tank, hooked the lines to the carb lines and finished the assembly and fired it up. No one has made clear which connections the new lines hook to on the carb. ie., return line and suction line.
I believe he put just a bit of fuel in the tank and tilted it so that only the fuel filter was submerged, and not the return line. Then he tried pushing the purge bulb, at first it just sucked air, so he knew it was backwards, then he reversed it and got fuel, so he knew he had it on right.
I am about to do this and I think the only reason he removed the fuel tank was that he could show the insertion of the tubes better and it is easier with the tank removed. I don't think it is required. I was curious why he didn't replace that little white nipple (and I didn't know what they are for) but in this thread someone explained that is keeps the primer return line from working itself out of the tank.
That's what I commented on myself...it's vital to keep it from wiggling out during prolong use. I pull the line all the way out just like the filter and attached, I also added a small piece to the tank end to help pick up fuel.
Трубки перепутаны местами в бензобаке это раз. Та что короткая должна быть ближе к горловине, а та что длинная с фильтром - дальше от горловины, хотя так тоже будет работать, но сделали не так как с завода. Трубка которая с топливным фильтром не должна быть задвинута в бок бензобака, а должна находиться в большей (видимой) части, иначе при маленьком уровне топлива двигатель будет останавливаться.
Great video! Exactly what i was looking for, thank you for posting! My original fuel lines look just like yours, broken into several pieces, probably chinese junk.
Could you tell me where you ordered the supplies to make these changes. I have found several options but not exactly like your order. Appreciate it very much
GREAT video... BUT would have been a time saver if you showed a closer view of the two fuel lines from the fuel tank you replaced onto the carburetor... Thanks
Also my 128LD is two years old only use it on my front lawn, I doubt if it has more than 12 hours run time. The fuel line was in several pieces and pulled apart easily, That's some crappy chinese work there
I just replaced my fuel lines and filter on my 128ld... Does anyone know what the plastic fittings found at the bottom of the tank are for? Are they just for extra?
one goes on each line, just inside the tank. the bulb/purge line will end w/one inside the tank. the filter line will go- filter, line, connector on the inside of tank, line out of tank to carb. they're supposed to prevent the lines shaking loose during use
I can't believe this is going to be so hard I take a darn machine apart. This is when I wish I had a husband but no I'm 67 I'm going to have to do this myself because nobody will help me Lord have mercy!😢

@JNC1973 No, I don't. I have an assortment, and just picked from what I had. If I were to guess, it's probably a 20 or 25 torx.

Took me 30 mins while watching this video and It worked perfectly , thanks!
Best video for this exact repair. I installed the same aftermarket kit and it runs like new!
Easy to understand as you show the work
nice video - but is it ok not to reinstall the nipples that connect the fuel lines through the gas tank holes ? Some videos say you should, some don't. The repair kit I bought had the nipples, but I'd prefer to do it like you showed.
Thanks for the video.
Some soapy water might make it easier to fish the hose into the tank.
Great Video!

@valos_cor7842 Yup. I'm replacing mine, and he got the supply and return lines switched when he replaced them.
I am about to do this and I think the only reason he removed the fuel tank was that he could show the insertion of the tubes better and it is easier with the tank removed. I don't think it is required. I was curious why he didn't replace that little white nipple (and I didn't know what they are for) but in this thread someone explained that is keeps the primer return line from working itself out of the tank.
Whish you had been more clear were each fuel connected to the carb. Can we assume the inlet goes to the fitting next to the primer bulb?
Ethanol will cause your fuel lines to become brittle. Always use ethanol free fuel in anything that uses a carburetor.
Thanks for the video. Its exactly whats wrong with mine. Replacement parts have been ordered. Merci beaucoup
Thanks a bunch for your video! Very helpful
What about the little connector/nipple from the fuel return line?
I’ve been wondering the same thing. And haven’t found any videos that mention them. 🤷🏻♂️
That's what I commented on myself...it's vital to keep it from wiggling out during prolong use. I pull the line all the way out just like the filter and attached, I also added a small piece to the tank end to help pick up fuel.
@@davidwarren7105so what line does the fuel inductor go on? The bulb line?
Они там нахуй не нужны...
Looks like for the 128ld you reversed the feed return lines. The feed line with the filter should feed through the hole furthest from the fill cap.

What size Nut Driver and what size Star Bit did you use to dismantle?

Great step by step, Thank you,

exactly the info i needed… many thanks!🙌
Which fuel line gets hooked back up where?
Can I buy the hose and do it or is it better just to get the whole kit which was $30.
Thank-You just what I was looking for !
Also my 128LD is two years old only use it on my front lawn, I doubt if it has more than 12 hours run time. The fuel line was in several pieces and pulled apart easily, That's some crappy chinese work there
Thanks. Your video was very helpful.
Please tell me what type of tubing I need to get and I still don't understand where the fuel filter goes you didn't mention it.
Great vid. Just saved me a ton of coin. Liked and subbed. Best to ya!
great video, thanks!
Great video, thanks!
U mis? The most important thing to how to connect the house were they goe
Thank you for sharing.
Good video very detail.
Thank you.
Thanks

You didn't show the fuel filter line the one I need.
Thanks 😊
What diameter fuel line?? 😊
Next time do the furthest first
You didn’t put the fuel line at the lowest point.. when you are holding it to weed eat the lowest point is the opposite side that you put it on…
He doesn't explain. things very well.
