Can any body help with the above or point me in the right direction, yesterday one of the special class kids I work with bought in their one and only saw His dad had said had a fuel line issue, I could see the problem straight away a redneck fix that did not work. The fuel line had broken and a new bit had been squeezed over the top to repair it but it was kinked dead flat'. Is it a difficult job to get into these to replace the line and is it a stihl line or can I use a ready available tygon size. Nothing in this for me I know finances are real tight in his family so If I can fix it without any charge I would be happy, I have some different size tygon hanging about. Any tips most welcome thanks pete

You can fix it with Tyygon but you need to pull a few tricks right where the fuel line goes into the tank.
Some people have used part of the original Stihl fuel line molded flange piece for the part that enters the fuel tank.
The green Stihl molded fuel lines hold up right well. The black ones lasted no time at all.
