Hello
The gas weed wacker I purchased from Sears has really held up very well over the years. New it is $149.99
Here is a youtube of one that works.

However this year the polypropylene plastic gas hose inside the fuel tank that goes to the fuel filter to pull the gas into the engine has spilt and broke again. I cut it back once and reconnected it. It only allowed me to finish the job. The problem is the plastic hose is too old and brittle and now too short to do that cut back trick again.
It looks like the tank may come out of the unit with 2 screws but may not come apart to put a new hose in!
So any suggestions on how to fix? See Red Arrow in pic below:
Model #358795100 - Craftsman Trimmer

Hello HRF,
I have a sears gas trimmer that needed the fuel lines replaced.
I, however, didn't take note of how the lines were routed when I removed them.
Does anyone have a similar trimmer, and can tell me which lines run where?
There are two lines from the fuel tank.
One goes to the primer bulb, the other goes directly to the carb.
There are two barbs on the carb, one is high, the other is low.
So does the line from the primer bulb connects to the high or low barb on the carb?
the primer bulb forces fuel from the carb sump into the cylinder, so would be the low barb. the other is fastened to the "dangler" which is the weighted filter inside the gas tank so would be the high side.
Thanx.

You have one large fuel line and one smaller. This eliminates some chance for error. If you have 2 small fuel lines to the carburetor connect them and start the engine. Reversing the fuel lines will not prevent the engine from starting. If you have them connected backwards, the engine will start and die. Reverse them and you will be correct.
The routing of the fuel lines vary from model to model. Keep in mind that the primer bulb circulates fuel from the tank, through the carburetor, and back into the fuel tank. One line goes from the fuel tank to the carburetor. One line goes from the fuel tank to the primer bulb, from the primer bulb to the carburetor, and back to the fuel tank.
