[QUOTE="keithert, post: 361248, member: 14768"] I did that yesterday. I put the tank up high and ran a hose directly to the carb inlet. The engine ran well like that. Low or high rpm were both working. The problem now is that the nipple that goes into the carb does not seat tightly. It is a tube the size of a ballpoint pen tip. The part is not available new on searsparts direct. I'm wondering if I should use a bit of fuel safe expoxy and attempt to glue it in. I'm not sure how that would work though since there is not a lot of room to put expoxy around the fitting. Is there a fuel safe glue I could use? A diagram of the fitting and the piece it is mounted to is attached. [/QUOTE]
