Broken line

Recommended Posts

Eric857

Hello Redsquare,

 

I was just working on taking apart me engine when the little metal fuel line that runs from the fuel pump to the carb broke. The rubber on the end inside the bolt was old and hard and snapped off. Is it reapairable? Can I replace it?

 

 

Thanks,

 

Eric

If you need the whole 3-piece fitting, don't get it from Kohler, you will pay many times more than they cost if you by them from the OEM manufacturer.

 

The fitting is called a Vibra-Lok fitting. Made by Parker Hannifin. Part # 68VL 3-2. It comes with the male fitting, the female nut, and the rubber gasket. All for about $4.00.

Yes. As you tighten the nut, the rubber gasket compresses around the 3/16" fuel line and holds it in place. The idea behind the rubber is to provide an anti-vibration damper. Later, gas lines were replaced with neoprene. Since they had them from the gas tank to the pump, I don't know why they just didn't use them from the pump to carburetor as they did on later engines.

      I have a WH 300 series with a Kohler Magnum 10 engine and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the choke cable and linkage set so it will work. The numbers on the engine label  are worn off the, so I cannot give anyone that information. Does anyone have a picture or can you head me in the right direction.
       
      My arm for the linkage assembly is set at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock if that helps. There seems to be several different linkage rods for this engine.
       
      Thanks
