I'm trying to recondition my Qualcast strimmer, but cannot get the fuel pipe on - should it be this tight or is there a trick to getting the plastic pipe over the ribbed ends?
However i've replaced the fuel pipe and spark plug, but still can't get it to start? There a decent amount of resistance when I pull the cord but it just won't fire - is there anything else obvious I should be looking for?

lighter WILL START A FIRE if pipe still contains FUMES much BETTER (safer way) is to hold the last 1/2" end of plastic pipe in BOILING WATER then slip it on the ribbed end.

Cheers John,
Would a lighter do the trick if i don't have a hot air gun?

Just heat the pipe up gently with a hot air gun, and it will slip on, no problem.
