I have a craftsman weedeater trimmer PE550 fuel line fell out the bottom. I fed it back in and found a connector and a black thing with a green rubber end to it that I can't figure out how it goes together.
I have an older model that has a weighted filter in the tank. The filter flops around and can 'fall' into the fuel no matter which way you tilt the trimmer/tank. You should have one in your tank. Feed in the new line and make the end come out the gas cap. Push the filter/weight into the end of the fuel line. Pull the extra fuel line out of the tank to match the original position. You should have cut the new line to approximately the proper or same length as the old fuel line with an angle cut so you could push it into the tank.
Testimonial: "Yes I have the weighted filter too but this is the line that just goes back into the tank and dumps. But there is also a black how can I put it is a funnel looking on one end with a washer and a green duck bill flexible ende and then a thin line to the other end that has a fan looking piece on that end. Its about three or so inches long. Have no idea where or what that hooks too."
Finally figured out what the black thing is its the retainer that goes with the fuel cap it must have fallen off and that is the extra piece that has baffled me! Now do I need that to have it run ok?
How can I thank you for your input. It helped me out! Thank you.

Oftentimes it helps to use scissors to trim back a portion of the new line. Start at the bottom and cut upwards at an angle. Put some lubricant (WD40, perhaps) on the line and slide the sharp point into the fuel tank. Using needle nose pliers, grab the line and pull it through. This will only work if you have the correct size line. If the new line you are using is too large, you probably can't pull it through.

There are 2 different set ups for fuel lines on these 2 stroke carburetors. One has a remote primer/purge bulb and the other has the primer/purge bulb on top of the carburetor. Here are instructions on how both kind work and how to service them.
The small diameter line out of fuel tank (has filter in-tank on end) connects directly to the side of the carburetor that has the fuel pump....that is the cover without the hole in it. Other larger diameter fuel line out of tank connects to the longer nipple on the external purge/primer bulb. The bulb "pulls" fresh fuel from the fuel tank to the carb and then out of the carb to itself, where it then "pushes" any air/old fuel back into the fuel tank. The remaining larger diameter fuel line in this setup goes from the metering chamber (has cover with writing on it and a vent-hole) side of the carburetor to the smaller nipple on the purge/primer bulb. Again, on the primer bulb, the longer nipple has a line going directly from it to the tank. This is the return line. The shorter nipple on the bub has a line from it going to the metering chamber side of the carb. If the purge/primer bulb is on top of the carb...small line from carb body to small hole in tank with filter. Larger diameter line goes from the bulb on the fuel pump side of the carb to the larger hole in the fuel tank where sometimes the line is held in place with a nylon nipple connector that keeps the line from pulling out of the tank. Otherwise, the line should enter the tank for about 1/2" or so
If you have any more questions, please post back. I will see your comment and be glad to help you,

The small green rubber thing sounds like the duckbill vent for a gas cap. Since the gas cap vent sits right over the open hole of the tank, I would check the underside of the gas cap. See if the little rubber vent is there. Normally, they will use a small clear nylon connector to hold the return line inside the tank. The small green thing sure sounds like a fuel cap vent. Here is a link to the diaphragm carburetors site with a tutorial on tuning these little carburetors. I will give you one from Zama and one from Walbro....Zama first.

on many models: One line ( the one with the fuel filter in the end of it) comes out of the fuel tank and goes to the lower port on the carburator. The second line goes from the fuel tank to the bottom fitting on the primer bulb. The third section goes from the top port on the primer bulb to the top port on the carburator. Hope this helps and best wishes.
