The difference is the vent is not a rubber hose it is plastic. I am going to the local hardware store later to see if I can find something else that may work.

You could also refit the tank for an Echo style external vent assembly.

-Block off the old tank vent hole (or just leave the old vent in place).

-Drill a hole near the top of the tank (just a little smaller than the OD of a piece of fuel line.....so that the line seals against the hole). 

-Pull a length of line through the hole so that it extends an inch or two into the tank.

-Route the line into the carb box area (may have to drill a pass through hole in the plastic carb box).

-Put an Echo fuel tank vent (as used on trimmers and such) on the end of the line. 

That vent is available separately, and in various 'fuel line kits' sold for Echo machines.  I've seen those kits for sale on Amazon and at Home Depot as well.  The 'kits' come with a few pieces of line, a tank grommet, a tank filter, and the vent assembly.  The vent lives outside the fuel tank.  I've used them for refitting Husky 2100/2101 tank vents with success.

Those Echo vents are great.  All you need is a hole for a fuel line and a little space for the vent to hang out in.  The idea came to me from an old timer in a local shop.

Going to replace my wj-70 carb as I still can not get it to run right. Found the wj-71 as a replacement and is about 50 to buy. The wj-70 cost around 100 or so. Hope this gets it going right.

Wj 39 or wj 69 can be made to fit with a few linkage changes from what I remember.

Thanks. I should have posted before I bought the wj -71. I have a handful of good wj-69 here. That I could have used. I guess haste makes waste.
