I wised I found you video sooner. It would have saved me some headaches.
Really well made and informative video, but like others have commented, I'm having a heck of a time getting the new fuel filter to sit flush in the bottom of the tank. I'm pulling hard on the fuel line on the bottom of the tank, but am afraid of breaking it. Do you have any tricks for getting that thing to sit properly?
Thanks again for sharing your video.
Thank you and Thank God!!! :)
@Em1nenceFr0nt It sounds like the muffler may be plugged with carbon and unburnt oil. Try removing the the spark arrestor screen from the muffler and cleaning it with a propane torch. If the muffler itself looks to be clogged you can usually also clean it out with the torch. If cleaning the muffler doesn't help then the problem is likely still with the carburetor. You may want to take a look at our carburetor cleaning video.
Thanks!

@boschbeachbum Thanks! Glad we could help you out!

Also, I wished you could have showed a camera shot of how the filter fit down in the gas tank. Your hand made a poor gas tank model.
The item which you refer to as an inline connector or splice is a check valve or one-way valve.
@sarah2007hood Try replacing the lines from the outside of the tank to the inside. Push the line through (from the outside) until it can be caught by a hook or something on the inside. Pull it through the fill opening. Replace the filter. Then pull the line back from the outside so that the filter seats itself in the proper location. This works for most trimmer fuel tanks that aren't designed with user-friendly fuel line replacement in mind. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
Thanks so much
Thanks so much
I came looking for a video like this because I have very nearly the same weedeater (Craftsman brand) that is nearly identical to the gas tank/primer bulb/carbureator configuration. The problem I have is that I can't get the fuel filter back through the hole in the gas tank after I snake the new fuel line into the tank. It appears that the fuel line should fully engage all the teeth/ribs on the fuel filter (up to the spongey filter piece), but then when I pull the line/filter back into the tank, I can neither get my fingers on the filter, nor pull the filter/line into the hole, because it is too tight. The fuel line I'm using is the same size (by appearance and apparent fit) through the hole in the tank, but it's too tight coming back to get the filter seated securely.
Not sure what tricks would fix this, but this is my current sticking point.
Scott, I had a similar problem, I ended up using a brake spoon. to press down on the filter. ( a brake spoon is used on cars to adjust the old drum based shoes on cars. it has two ends shaped like screw drivers one end is straight and the other is bent about 75 degrees. The bent end is the end I used to push down the filter with. good luck
Hi, I came across an article that said to feed a fine wire through the fuel line , hook the end and feed it through the hole in the gas tank, attach the fuel filter and pull back through the tank. My problem is I don't know how long to make the lines.
Scott Jackson I am having the same problem as we speak. Did you ever get the filter to sit against the tank like in the video, (which conveniently skips over this step)?
Could somebody please tell me the line sizes for Ryobi 700r. Will the standard size 3/32"I.D. and 3/16" O.D. fit all hoses, including primer hoses (hose to the carburetor, return fuel line and fuel line)? Thank you very much.
saved me $80 at the local repair shop!!!!!! Thanks loads
Cool video, however i think the you should have the filter hanging inside rather than attached to the side of the tank, you need that in case you tilt the machine then the filter will be immersed inside the gas.
Hey Mark have the same ryobi as that any chance u could show me how to make carb adjustments on the trimmer to help me thanks
Thankyou this was so jhelpful as i forgot the primer return lines watching this corrected my mistake then it stated first go great he.p
Thank You, I'm replacing my carb and now I know what goes where.
Is it possible to replace a bent shaft on a trimmer with a straight shaft.If you can, doe's it have to be the same brand as the motor.
Les Greentree.
that's great I always replace cables pipes things like that one at a time so I don't get mixed up
@Em1nenceFr0nt - My trimmer has the same symtom with yours, did you get your trimmer fixed using the method he suggested?
how to change Fuel lines on the MAC3227 trimmer
Hi Mark and thanks for your videos. I think I have a couple of lines crossed just took the weed eater apart and was fixing the starter pull assembly now it won't start ugh. Before I use it again I will have to switch them around I'm sure. Just so you know your volume on this video is really weak on my end.
Thank you for your comment.
I would buy a piece of two foot fuel line and run it from the outside of the tank, through the gas fill opening.....put the fuel filter on it and pull it back in half way so the filter rests on the bottom of the tank. Measure or guestimate how much you will need to route it and snip. All thats left to do is mount the fuel tank and fill and your done. At least thats what I did.
how did you get that return line in so easy? I fight it right now on my troybuilt 4 stroke
cut a 45 angle on line, will install much easier.
Correct just like I have seen others do but make sure you have enough to do that.

I added you to my favorite list. Thanks for helping.
Hi, I have a John Deere string /bush trimmer. Model BC1600. The gas line was so deteriorated it just crumbled in my hand. I don't know how long I need the lines. It looks different than the one you were working on. If I could get a little step by step or visual on this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Mabe
I noticed the Ryobi weed eater looks alot like my McCulloch Weed Eater. Ive been having trouble finding parts but i think when they went out of business Ryobi bought them out and keeped making the same design weed eater but with a different name and a few changes to the design of it.
anyone know what size the fuel lines are?
Great video. Steps were good & very helpful since all my fuel lines broke before making notes. My weed-eater is a Craftsman Convertible 31cc 15" Model # 316790101....(Manufactured by Ryobi). Purchased the "Ryobi Primer Bulb & Fuel Line Kit" Model # AC04122 @ Home Depot, which is: •Compatible with Ryobi and Homelite products with 25cc, 30cc, and 26cc engines •Kit includes a fuel line, a return line, a fuel filter and a primer bulb •Includes an installation tool and an operator's manual. I purchased my weed-eater in 1999. Worn fuel lines are the only problem I've had after 15 years. I've kept it clean, and taken good care of it. Noticed the Made In U.S.A. sticker on it, runs like a champ!. Thanks for the step by step video.
is there a fuel line i can get that doesnt have to be replaced every year? the fuel line iam using keeps falling apart every year. please help.
Hi Donald. Can you send us your model number so we can help you find the fuel line you need? All of our parts are high-quality OEM parts sourced directly from the manufacturer.
Excellent Video from eReplacemenParts.com. At the website, I was able to view parts list and diagrams for my TB90BC and TB32EC. The cost was excellent and this video showed me exactly how to repair my machines. Both are working well. Thanks for great service and this very helpful video.
Yeah free spirit around the small and big engines use the real good. Of the line I use the yellow lines of expensive and last longer than the ocean yes you no you're feeling a lot better twitter it's a lot better than what you use in ya gotta shower now I'm in their own this is that the have to have a the oppression checking with you to cost me to get up and compression gauge feel like that the depression will pull the rope on a good compression to it and now I clean the carburetor on some girl the book Berlin Outback tried all that cleaning bit the dust in quite get it all plans are so I'm stuck in a pan of vinegar but on the stove let him borrow real good blazer branch come out the carburetor throw the carburetor on a Madhavan world again and then acting cleaned in then thing else then come out of it anything more come out of it but this but the blood on friends back in it and got new diaphragm for and
Try squirting a little starter fluid towards the back of the carb. If it sounds better, you may have an air leak around your gasket. Junk the gasket and apply a little gasket sealer to the back of the carb, worked for me.
yes help o lot
Your video was great. I replaced the fuel lines and primer bulb. It started right away but when I go to give it more throttle it stalls out.. What do you recommend?
Mark you know your stuff. Thanks so much.

Nothing said about how to remove the fuel lines from the tank
excellent video, thanks. I couldn't figure out how the filter was supposed to fit inside the gas tank.
I can hardly the audio on this video.
I have a troy bilt with this type carb and primer bulb separate, was looking for a video that showed correct line placement and now I know mine is wrong.
Love the videos they have been a big help!
he has a video on how to figure this out as well.

Great Video!! Our fuel lines were all crumbly and had fallen off, so I had no idea where to put the new ones. This was a big help along with my 11yr old's small fingers.....since we didn't actually disassemble the whole thing. Thanks!!
When I removed the carb, a bent washer fell out. Does that need replaced or is it supposed to be like that? Thank you for the help. I have a Troy Bilt, but it looks the same as the Ryobi.
Louie Van Deven I have a similar troy bilt. It has a spring shaped like a bent washer to put tension on the choke lever so that it can move easily between the three positions while snapping into the detents.
Okay, thank you. I thought it looked like it was bent on purpose, just wanted to make sure. Appreciate your help.
Take a picture!
Thank you very much for making such a good useful video.
@eReplacementParts thanks so much that sounds do-able!
Thanks a lot, I changed fuel lines and had no idia how to put back. Now I got them right and still wont run. I can see fuel moving through lines when prime bulb. Hmmm what next? It started with a shot of start fluid but died right away.
This sounds like either a plugged port in the carb or a defective diaphragm.
Thank you!
Nice video, happens to be the exact model of trimmer that I'm needing to fix.
take a pic it's easier !
Been fooling around with my Boulins for two summers now trying to get the fuel lines on and they are identical to yours! Thank-you.
cool video, but think I'll just buy a new weed eater. :D
Believe it or not I think that is what most people do. That is the point of these videos to help us out and save tons of money. I tried and begged for a young gal to not purchase a battery powered 18v trimmer at HDepot the other day but she bought it anyway ugh. I told her to pray before she used it. They did have the 40 volt and another one with 56 volts and I can't comment on them because I have never used one with that big of a battery. I have been able to fix tons of stuff with you tube as a resource and it does save money. Gppd luck with your new one.

great video, probably best of the 3 I watched. 2 suggestions, when installing line with filter install line 1st from underneath then have it come out by the gas cap and install filter on. 2nd clean tank and all fittings well since rotten lines leave particles everywhere.
on my husqvarna weedeater where does the black washer go
+DIANE Chapman Can you get the model number of your Husqvarna Trimmer? I'll be happy to look up the parts and see if I canhelp.
Thanks but I already taken care of it
Thanks so much
one more time Denice thank you thank you thank you ha ha.
Great video!.. quick question, do you know the ID / OD requirements for those (Ryobi) trimmers? Also, do you know what the more common sizings are for trimmers in general ?
I'm hoping someone might help me with my problem. It doesn't exactly need to be replaced I don't think but I have almost no experience with lawn care and even less experience with the mechanics of equipment like this. I noticed today on my trimmer that (what I believe to be) the return line is lose at the point where it meets the fuel tank. It moves freely in and out but it doesn't come completely out. The problem is if I don't hold it in the right angle gas flows pretty freely through the gap around the return line and the hole in the tank. I was wondering if this is normal or if there is something I can do to seal that gap and make sure it doesn't leak. I don't have much in the way of tools or spare parts and this may sound stupid so go easy on me, as I said I don't really know the do's and don'ts yet, but I had the idea to hot glue around the return line where it meets the tank to seal that gap. I figured this might be a possible temporary fix. I don't really know how hot that area gets when in use, if it would just melt the glue away. I would love to get some help with this. Specifically a cheap, quick fix that would keep my fuel from leaking.
