Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Weed Eater TE400 Fuel Flow, weed eater, wd 40

Question
My TE400 string trimmer quit working and I noticed that the fuel lines were cracked, so I replaced them to no avail.  It will run on WD-40 (sprayed in the carb throat) all day, so it is obviously a fuel delivery problem.  Also noticed that when I push the primer bulb, the fuel appears to flow the wrong way; in the little tube, out the big tube.  I also could get it to run "upside down" as long as the little tube was covered with fuel.

Thanks.

Answer
Hello David:

On Some of these Trimmers the Large Tube is the Return Line and the Filter and Pick Hose is the Small Line. Did you Change the Fuel Line in the Tank that has the Filter Attached to it? Are you Sure the Large Tube was the Fuel Supply Tube? You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Mower at this Site Addy, http://hayward.arinet.com/scripts/EmpartISAPI.dll?MF&app=ASP&lang=EN&TF=Mainfram... and Select the Catalog Poulan/Weed Eater. Hope this Helps. I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Thanks.

Good Luck
