Nice! If I were you I'd pull that line, find the crack/hole, clean it up and solder it. A much better repair than hose. Gotta love the tree-pusher, that would do the job!

I agree the original line fixed be best. Problem was that I had much problem (under statement) getting that line back into the pump. It’s the reason I’m thinking hose. Tree pusher.. ha yes attaching it I think doubled the tree toppling efforts ..

Those lines can definitely be testing of one's patience. Thanks for posting

loctite/permatex make a fuel tank putty you could use that no need to remove it from machine.

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality

The line after leaving the 4 injectors elbows across the top front, elbows again downward. Watching the video and pausing like 30 seconds in you can see this line traveling downward before disappearing behind fuel tower tang shaft housing etc before re emerging where the drips visible. I’d sure like to see have access to the exact spot and try your advice. Thanks for following.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
