part found in gas tank

[Eric]

Replaced cracked primer button and cleaned, able to start machine, but when give it gas it dies...
I found this part inside the gas tank has two cotton like material tails and an opening that looks like it goes on a hose...not sure what it is or where it goes...any help appreciated.

Yeah I found the fuel filter in my gas tank and so have many other people....I guess it breaks off into the gas tank and then it won't run right. Mike.... The plastic thing it screws into is what snaps off, so you can't fix it.... you need no glue it on with a non-butyl base adhesive....

Hello,

After time the fuel lines will deteriorate and become brittle and break. In the case of this model, if you order the fuel tank, part number 308181003. You will receive new fuel lines, new filter and new cap.

Hope this helps,
