My neighbour asked me to fix his 240 strimmer. Generally in good order and little used. Stored over winter with fuel in (oh yes!) Wouldn't start. Emptied old fuel out of tank. Out came bits of disintegrated fuel line. Had broken into many pieces and crumbled to touch. Tank off and swilled out. Retrieved the loose fuel filter/sinker and bits of dead tubing.
Ordered and received the fuel line kit - basically a short length of both dia. pipes. Simple job - cut pipes to correct lengths, connect filter, fit pipes to correct locations on pump assy. New fuel. When depressing/releasing primer bulb - NOTHING ! No fuel in pipework. Carefully took off bulb/valve assy. All appeared to be "as new". Didn't poke any further. Bulb is is good order and all seems airtight with gaskets in good condition.
Apols for long-winded post (it's my first). It's probably something simple - but what ?? Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
Mike.
