The fuel lines on my hedge clippers got sheared off the carb this weekend by an errant sprig.
The local big box store sold me a generic, fuel line repair kit with two, one-foot pieces of fuel line that appeared to fit the bill.
It almost did; after fishing a couple inches of one line into the fuel tank to attach to the filter, that line came up short.
Fortunately, the other line was just a little bit too long. Although the lines had different outside diameters, the inside diameters were the same. Problem was that I had no coupler.
But I AM a proud owner of a vintage Airstream which means I have a WIDE selection of aluminum pop rivets. After cutting the button off of one, I had my coupler.
The primer pumped up with no leaks. NOW I'm ready to tackle the euonymus.

You would have made an excellent farmer with those kind of improvisation skills!!!
