Ok… I’m starting my new obsession of engines. Anyone worked on engines much? I have a few pieces of lawncare equipment to work on. Ordered a pacman screwdriver to tune the carburetor of a Troy Built weed eater and I got a replacement primer bulb for a Husqvarna 125b leaf blower. The small amount of work I do on engines will probably be lawncare equipment for now. This thread isn’t just for small engines. ---

With the right tools not bad, you have to check all your clearances (that is key) and make sure everything is TQ’D to spec ---

Where’s the best place to buy parts for a 2 cycle engine? I bought a carb tune up kit for a leaf blower and it was supposed to come with a thin fuel line and a thick fuel line and it only came with the thick one. ---

Local hardware store should have everything you need. Usually they sell bulk fuel line by the foot so if it’s not in the kit you can just get a foot (or two or three, you’ll use it eventually) of regular fuel hose in whatever diameter you need. Ivan ---

If you have a NAPA auto parts store nearby, they will be a great option for buying various parts (including fuel line). ---
