I have not used/run my old Poulan TE450CXL weedeater in a while. I gave up mowing my lawn last year and just pay someone to do it now. However, I have some stuff I want to clean up on the woods' edge and tried to fire it up and it wouldn't start.
I replaced the spark plug, it was pretty fouled, but it still won't start. I'm thinking fuel lines are old and cracked. When I prime it, it initially felt like it was priming, but now it just sucks air when I push the priming bulb. So, I'm going to try and replace the fuel lines, but I am not sure how to tell what size they are. Just pull one off and take it to HD with me? It's just small, plastic tubing--can't be that difficult.
So, if that doesn't do it, what's next? Rebuilding the carb? Is that something someone with no experience with small engines can do? Just buy the kit and follow some YouTube instructions? I have enough mechanical aptitude to change my oil and filter and do similarly simple things on my car, so maybe I can do it?
