Need help with fuel connector.

[matt194]

The place where my fuel line connects to the motor leaks. I was hoping some one could look at the pictures and tell me if they see anything wrong with the connectors.

Thanks

Matt

There is an o-ring inside the female where you see the ball bearing seated/ They wear or sometimes don't work right to begin with. Get a new OEM one is best. Be sure the one that you buy is the right size for your fuel line.

Yep, change the O ring or if not, just get a new connector for $5...

You have to make your own "tool" for getting it out. Just a piece of stiff wire. I used a piece of remote control cable core wire...perfect. Then simply pinch the new one flat between your fingers and slide it in. BTW, they are a special size o-ring, not available at hardware stores.

Good evening!

Also check the tab on the hose connector. After years of it being pulled off, it bends the tab out so that it doesn't sit tight on the motor connector, leaving a crooked gap making it leak. Corrected mine and no more oily mess on the motor.
