    Question:
    Describe your problem or complaint: [Fuel line broken. When I changed the fuel lines I emptied the fuel tank and discovered a small barbed tubing connector (maybe a check valve) in the bottom of the tank. What is it for and how do I orient it? Also, Do you have a fuel line schematic. I attahced the tank line with the filter to the primer bulb and the other connector on the primer bulb to the carb top side. The small fuel tubing that went into the tank is connected to the bottorm port on the carb. I am not sure how long the small tank tube should be or what the barb connector is for. Machine will start for a second or two but will not run continuously. Please advise.]

      I have this exact issue, too.  The clear plastic fuel lines have failed - sort of dissolved/disintegrated at the tips - in less than a year!   The 2 year warranty is nice but the closest authorized dealer is more than an hour away, and apparently he has the option of not servicing it since I bought it elsewhere.  So I'll be attempting the repair myself.  It shouldn't be too bad really, if I can get some replacement fuel line from a neighborhood shop.    I'd sure like to have a drawing showing that valve placement and direction.  It would be very helpful.

        Did you ever get a schematic to replace the fuel line on the 125B blower?  I am having the same problem.  Where does the thin line go?  I have already connected the other line to the fuel filter.  Where dos the barbed piece go?
