How do I change fuel lines - Garden

Changing fuel lines is an easy job but its going to vary quite a bit depending on the model of the snowblower and whether its a single or dual stage unit. Generically speaking, you will always have a fuel line going from the fuel tank to the carburetor. In between, you may have a fuel filter, a fuel shut off, or perhaps nothing at all. Replacing the fuel line is just a matter of getting access to it. Typically when I replace one that does not have a fuel shut off, I pinch the fuel line with vise grips. Since you are replacing it anyway, it won't matter if it hurts it any. Once it is pinched off, remove the line from the carburetor. Getting access to this will depend on the type of machine you have. Single stages typically have a panel on the back that comes off to gain access. 2-stages will have a carb box cover. When you get the fuel line off, aim the line into some kind of container where you can drain the fuel by taking the vise grips off. Once the fuel is drained, you can take off the end at the fuel tank as well. These often have little clips on them that need to be squeezed together by needle nose pliers. When you have the fuel line piece off, i use the old piece to measure the length of the new piece. Most small engine fuel lines are 1/4" and you can find them at all the big box stores, rural king, etc. Then just put the new fuel line back on the tank and carb, and you are good to go. Below is a video on how to do it on a snow king engine. Chances are this isn't your engine, but watching will give you the general idea.
