Awesome tip. I seriously considered breaking out the xacto knife and throng just that…, but was afraid I would compromise it and end up with another leak. What kind of wire would you use and how would it “grab” the outside of the grommet (to pull it into the tank)? I’m thinking of the fuel line puller tool that comes with small engine fuel lines, like this. https://www.acehardware.com/departments/lawn-and-garden/lawn-mowers/lawn-mower-parts/7388184
I did use dish soap first, then oil, to try to coax it through. Not sure it would have ever worked without it.
I finally got to really run the saw today. Ran great. Sounds awesome. Here’s a picture of it rescuing my MS250.
