Husqvarna 61 Fuel Line Quetion

[firefighter938]

Can anyone tell me the correct outside diameter for a fuel line on a Husky 61? I bought what I thought was the correct fuel line but it is not fitting tight and gas leaks out when it is on it's side. The fuel line I bought has a built in "grommet" for lack of a better term. I measure the hole in the tank and it is 0.32". The fuel line I have has a fat side and skinny side. The fat side only measures 0.31" or there abouts.

This is a "new" used handle assembly and I am not sure which item I have is incorrect. The tank or the fuel line.

Thanks.

Not sure the right size. Why not get a grommet from dealer and new fuel line. I have opened the hole alittle if its too tight.

Are you sure its leaking from the fuel line area. It could be the tank vent leaking also a common fault with Husqvarnas.

Get the proper molded fuel line from your dealer. Saves a lot of headache, and the longer side of the line goes to the carb.

I ended up putting a grommet on it. Thanks everyone.

Hi, Firefighter938, how did that grommet work out for you? I'm considering doing the same on mine.
