Top replacement parts for Swisher gas line trimmers

• Carburetor. The carburetor mixes air with fuel in the proper proportion to produce a combustible gas. That gas/air mixture then moves into the cylinder where it is compressed by the piston and ignited by the spark plug.
• Fuel filter. The fuel filter attaches to the end of the fuel line inside the gas tank. It filters particles from the gasoline as it moves from the fuel tank to the carburetor.
• Ignition module. The ignition module supplies spark voltage to the spark plug on the engine.
• Spark plug. The spark plug produces the spark that ignites the fuel in the engine.

How to replace fuel lines in your Swisher gas line trimmer

• Wear work gloves to protect your hands and disconnect the spark plug wire.
• In a well-ventilated area, remove the fuel cap and empty the fuel tank into an approved storage container.
• Fish the fuel filter out of the tank using a pair of needle-nosed pliers or a straightened wire clothing hanger with a hook formed on the end. Pull the fuel filter off the end of the fuel line.
• Make a diagram or take a picture of how the fuel lines are configured between the tank and the carburetor. Remove the fuel lines from the carburetor using a pair of needle-nose pliers.
• Pull the old fuel lines out of the tank. If necessary, use needle-nose pliers to grip the lines. If you can't pull the lines out, cut the lines flush with the tank. The use a small screwdriver to push the rest of the lines into the tank. Tip the trimmer and shake any fuel line pieces out of the tank.
• Cut the ends of the new fuel lines at an angle so that they're easier to thread into the tank. Force the cut ends of the fuel lines into the proper holes of the tank, using needle-nose pliers if necessary. Push the smaller fuel supply line into the tank far enough so that the fuel filter will lay on the bottom of the tank. Fish the smaller line out of the tank and cut the end of it square. Install the fuel filter onto the end of that fuel line and drop it into the tank.
• Using your diagram or digital photograph for reference, reconnect the fuel lines to the carburetor.
• Reconnect the spark plug wire to the spark plug.
