Gas is leaking after I put gas in. It looks like the fuels lines are in. Does the filter attach to the gas lines? I don't see an air filter on my 536-77240000 craftman edger.

Hi Terry
Check to make sure you have your fuel lines hooked up correctly.
I will attach a picture of how they should connect.

I doubt it.
The pump gets the fuel from the tank to the injectors.
If you don't have a leak, the check engine light should be on and there should be trouble codes stored in the computer. Those codes would point you in the direction to investigate.

I am asuming you are already into the saw and looking at the carb and tank. There are two fuel lines, one gets gas to the carb, the other returns gas to the tank. The 'in' fuel line has to be long enough so you can pull it out the gas fill hole to attach the filter and to rest on the bottom of the tank. (The weight of the filter will keep it on the bottom.) The 'out' line only has to be long enough to go into the tank but not vibrate out. Both should be fairly snug in their holes so gas won't leak out around them. Either line can go through either hole in the tank however, one hole is usually easier for each line to run in without kinking. If you don't know which nipple is which on the carb, put one end of a line on one nipple and the other end in some gas and pump the primer. If it sucks gas up, it's the 'in' nipple, if not it's the 'out' nipple. If you got the 'out' nipple, be sure to check the other to make sure the primer is working properly.

The fuel line on the 141 is very small and wasn't really meant to be replaced for some reason, as it is a pinch fit. Buy the smallest fuel line you can, usually 1/8th OD inch fuel line. Remove the air-filter and the carburetor. You will need to drill out the
current hole a little bit, so go slowly. As soon as the new fuel line will fit _tightly_ insert the line. You will have to remove the hand-bar and the
anti-vibration bolts to separate the motor mount portion from the gas tank which is part of the hand grip.

Apply some gasoline proof gasket sealant to the space between the gap, else you will have a gas leak from the tank sooner or later.

Reassemble the grip and motor sections back together and let the sealant dry for a day or so. Put the carb and air filter back on and attach the fuel line to the carb and the other end to the fuel filter in the gas tank.

under car attached to fuel line comeing off gas tank follow line until you see it your gonna leak some gas remove clips holding it on dont forget to bleed fuel lines to get air out

That is the fuel pressure regulator , the diaphragm ruptured inside . Leaks fuel .

look like this ? $20 some bucks

Trash in the tank fuel line outlet. When you tilt it the trash moves and lets some gas in. Set it down and the trash goes back in the hole and shuts off the gas. No pressure to feed fuel so when you pull choke makes it run rich and then starves for gas again. Dump gas, disconnect the line at the carb. Put a clean tube (drinking straw, plastic tube, whatever will fit so you don't get gas in your mouth) in the gas line and blow air into the tank through the filter clearing the obstruction. Reconnect line then see if it runs longer before it shut off. If it does clean the tank and flush the dirt out.
If that doesn't change anything then it has to be a carb diaphragm leaking and it need a rebuild kit and fuel system flush.

Check the Spark Plug

look under the car at the gas tank .look for small metal fuel lines that goes to a small little round metal canister that is mounted to a bracket with a bango fuel line connected to it.thats the fuel filter.FIRST RELIEVE FUEL PRESSURE BEFORE REMOVING FILTER.YOU LOOSEN GAS CAP.THEN YOU GET RAGS TO CATCH GAS THEN YOU GET INLINE WRENCHES.TAKE INLINE WRENCHES AND BARELY LOOSEN LINES AT THE FUEL FILTER TO RELIEVE GAS PRESSURE.USE RAGS TO CATCH GAS.WHEN YOU PUT THE NEW FILTER ON BESURE TO GET NEW BANJO WASHERS.DO NOT USE THE OLDS ONE ARE YOU WILL HAVE A GAS LEAKS.WHEN YOU FINISH REPLACING FUEL FILTER.TURN CAR IGNITION IN ON POSITION FOR A FEW SECONDS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE NO GAS LEAKS.

this suggests you have a fuel leak in the engine compartment. Possibly a leaking fuel manifold (injection rail), or the rubber line from the fuel tank is leaking where it attaches to the manifold. The fuel line to the cold start injector should also be checked. Rubber hoses on older cars become brittle and as they contract from very cold weather will leak. Turn the key to on for 1 minute but do not start the car. Then check under the hood for a raw fuel wet spot where the leak is.
