Thats cool!
Make sure the filters clean,sometimes oil ,hair builds up,an cloggs them also.
You dont need a hobby shop for fuel filters & line.Your local home-po or Lowes should carry
tank lines,filters,an primer bulbs kits foe ryobi an or echo.They should work.
Also,if the engine is used,an the muffler has never been off.Then its a good idea to remove
it,an make sure the exuast port is not clogged with built up carbon.If so,carefully scrape it out with piston down.
Ive seen many times where they were completly closed off,an some accasions were the carbon came loose
an fell into cylinder and scared cylinder up...Good luck...
