I went at the fuel line fitting at the carb with a crescent wrenche in an attempt to change the filter. I turned the larger fitting and it turned easily. The problem was i was too stupid to realize that the fuel line was twisting as well. Now the truck wont start and i think it is due to the line being pinched. Are there an alternatives to buying a new $25 line from LMC? I also dont really want to bend line. Is there any way to use rubber hose?
