Hope someone can help. Otherwise it's the trash can. I have a 18-year-old Weed Eater blower model 920 Serial 1F1760967. It's run reliably, but I'm sure the engine internals are pretty worn. It ran out of gas and hasn't started since. The fuel line from the tank looked nasty, so I replaced it from the carb tro the tank, but it won't suck any gas into the line when the rope is pulled. If I pour a little gas in the cylinder, it will fire, but that's it. I've taken the carb all apart and cleaned everything. Wasn't too dirty. As I look at the side of the carb with the single screw -- the side where the gas goes into -- there's a gasket and a couple of "flapper valves" built into the gasket that seem to be designed to allow gas to enter the carb and go through a couple of chambers, but not allow gas or air to return. All the passages are clear, and you can blow through them. When I put the side with the single screw back on the carb, you cannot blow through the fuel hose, and it seems to me that it'll never run if fuel won't go in there.
