Fuel line often collapses on these. Weighted pickup filter may be clogged.
1. Drain fuel
2. pull out filter with a wire hook.
3. Remove filter; pull line off
4. Pull line out of tank, remove from carburetor
5. Replace with new plastic line. Depending on model, you may need to make up the line, overlaying 2 sizes.
Repeat 1. through 4. in reverse order, reversing actions. Remember to clean the filter, and blow through it before installing
