Fuel connection leak

[reload]

I have a 6 hp Johnson. The fuel line leaks where it connects to the tank and to the engine. Are there o-rings or something in there to replace or do you have to buy new connectors?

There is an o-ring inside the connector, look up the parts breakdown for your engine to see where it is.

I could not find any o-rings in either end. I bought a new hose assembly instead. It is made by Attwood, bought at wal mart for $50.00, did I get ripped?

That sounds kinda high priced, at least around here.
Here is the o-ring you are looking for, #37.

I could not figure out how to get it apart to get to the o-ring. Anyway all is good now. Had 4 days of enjoyable crabbing.

O-rings are easily replaced using a crochet hook. For future reference.

Or dental picks.
